First, I heard the quilting police are on holiday. Second, I love your piping and that is on my list to concur. I'll have to YouTube for some help. And lastly, sinse this is a baby quilt, I would give mom to be washing instruction. For instance, wash on cold and dry on low. If mom is worried about germs, a cup of plain vinegar in the rinse cycle will sanitize and remove the soap. Vinegar has the same sanitizing effects as bleach and easier to use. When my little sister was a baby, we had to wash her clothes separate and do a second rinse with the vinegar, doctor recommended, to remove any soap residue and to sanitize. Also, my vet recommended using vinegar on the floors as other floor cleaning aids, swiffer, pine sol, etc., can get on the dogs feet and they lick their feet and can be exsorbed through their paws.

I was a bad, bad, bad girl......not only did I use polyster thread to quilt this quilt.....I used RAYON!!!! I couldn't find a yellow varigated to use on the binding. So I went ahead and used rayon. 
This is Cheaper by the Half Dozen by Atkinson Designs. It uses 6 fat quarters, 1 5/8 for the backing, 7/8 of a yard of outer border and binding (normally) and 3/8 of a yard for the inner border. I used the piping binding for this quilt. That way I could machine sew the binding on and not have to take the time to hand sew it.
This is for a new great niece due the end of June.
Will someone please post my bail for me?????
Hugs!

If you reach back in time, you'll find that quilts were made of ANYTHING. Feed sacks, velvet, lace (the crazy quilts!!!). So -- let the quilt police come, use what you want, and have a ball!!!!
