Finally, the completion of the blue and white (B&W) quilt is getting near. All walking foot stitching is done. Today, I am attaching the binding.
In the past couple of weeks there was an interruption in finishing the B&W due to the need (desire) to make a toddler quilt.
No piecing was required. It is a long-ago retired I Spy panel in other words a 'cheater.' I found the most perfect backing fabric which can double as I Spy as well.
Although it will be gifted to a newborn, the toddler quilt will work as a baby gift when I meet the new little guy. More walking foot practice was accomplished as all shapes were outlined quilted.
Two different color threads were used as red worked well on the front and white on the back. Same brand and weight of thread used which was Gutterman 30 weight all cotton.
In order to join along with talented hand stitchers at Kathy's Quilts, I'll be hand sewing the binding down on the back of quilt.

You and I are both hand stitching binding today. That is a great panel for a baby quilt. Lots to look at!
I'm in love with that I Spy panel dancing with all those fun hexies. Fabulous, and such fun for a little one's quilt. Enjoy stitching the binding on your lovely quilt.
The toddler quilt makes use of colorful and very child friendly fabrics. I am sure it will be loved. Your blue and white quilt is very striking. Scrolled down to see the filmsy. Binding is one of my favorite parts of quilting. The home stretch. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt ... :) Pat
Your hexagons quilt is amazing, such a lot of work I imagine.
