Lasagna Quilt 2



Several months ago, we had a lesson on a fast way to make a lasagna quilt. I tried it but I wasn't particularly pleased with the result. It bothered me that the some of the novelty prints I used were upside down. Knowing I wouldn't use the large size quilt, the quilt was cut in two and borders added, making 2 nice size baby/toddler quilts. This is a bit larger than the first one I finished as it has an additional border. This quilt is backed with fleece (light blue) and bound by turning the backing over to the top of the quilt and stitching it down. I like to use a decorative stitch and trim the fabric along the stitch line. This leaves an interesting design along the edge of the quilt and no bulk as it has a raw edge rather than a hemmed edge.
