I tried to resist, but I simply can’t. I think it’s time for another flea market fancy quilt…

twin baby goldfish quilts
If I have one favorite go to fabric for baby quilts, this is it! I’m so in love with these Heather Ross goldfish!
These two little quilts were made and gifted last weekend to summer friends who are having twin boys in a couple months. I had such a great time pairing these cute little goldfish with some other fun fabrics.
I love the goldfish print in a strip quilt, since I think it’s fun to see a whole row of goldfish. In the past I’ve made similar strip quilts, using turquoises and oranges, or blues and browns… and this time I added in one of my favorite neutral solids, Kona Stone, as well as a bunch of orange, blue and brown prints and solids.
Both are quilted with simple straight lines, sewn 1/4″ away from each seam, and then bound with those cute stripey bindings!
I hope they will be well loved!

For those who might ask — the Heather Ross goldfish fabric is now out of print, but if you’re looking for something similar, you might look for the Heather Ross Munki Munki version of goldfish in bags. You can buy some over here from Kerri!
stripey bindings
make me happy!
Especially knowing they’ll be attached to a couple cute little baby quilts!
Now, before you say anything, let me reassure you that I’m not always this prepared. In fact, I almost never make my binding ahead of time (though I always wish I did!). Most of the time I don’t know what I want to use for binding until the very end, but this time I was definitely feeling the stripes (or the squiggly stripes, as the case may be).
(orange squiggly stripe is Sweet Pea by Jackie Shapiro, and the brown stripe is by Lecien)

I still haven’t heard back from one of the winners of the Tufted Tweets giveaway. Kate, if you’re out there, send me an email or leave a comment here. If I don’t hear back from you by Sunday night, I’ll pick a new winner on Monday.
