Just finished putting the binding on this one Its for a little girl born 7 29 15 and she is a jewel. Used leftover scraps from a set of matching quilts for twins born earlier this year (still need quilting). Didn't realize until I went looking for more of the backing fabric that it was a specialty fabric for Autism. Think I picked it up at the Des Moines Quilt Show last year or the year before. Seemed to work with the colors on the top and then uses some multi-color striped fabric for the binding. Have only a little bit left of this fabric too. It was my go-to for kids quilts.
Someone suggested using a grey, yellow or pale green on a multi-colored quilt top. Used yellow this time. Last quilt I tried the grey. Guess next multi-colored top will get the pale green. Almost used green on this one but decided on the yellow at the last minute.
I use robotics in my quilting so its the machine that does all the work and not me. I just put it altogether using ProQ Designer program.

Thank you all for your kind words on this quilt. I am starting to enjoy quilting again since getting my machine fixed. Had such a time with it since I got it back in late 2011 that I hated to quilt. Now everything is working as it should. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on my quilting now. Can't wait to show you my purple/red/white disappearing hourglass quilt. Quilting it in the pale green thread for the body, red on the red smaller border and purple for the larger purple border. Maybe next week I'll have it off the frame.
Again, thanks for the kudos as it really means a lot to me from you all.
