#5: Wade's Quilt

 This quilt was finished last March, but I could not post it until I gave it to it's new owners.

I found the backing for the quilt and knew exactly who I wanted to give it to.  I reminded me or my friends out in Colorado.  At the time I was one a Garden Fence Quilt kick.  If you've never made a Garden fence quilt, I suggest you do. They are so much fun!  (I have another Garden Fence quilt, but only the top is done.  It is in my pile of someday-when-I-have-extra-cash-to-quilt-them quilts. :)
 

I found this cute little paper pieced hedgehog a long time ago.  I was so excited to finally get to create him.
 

 Even though the paper piecing was small he was still pretty easy to make.  Although, one hedgehog is different than the others.  (One little mistake.  If you can find it you may win a prize. :)


I am in love with the strip on the back.  I love how the white separates it.



I quilted it with a large all over stipple and bound it with a fun striped fabric.  (I'm into striped bindings now.  I love how they look on the bias.)

Enjoy baby Wade!!
