A friend of mine is having twins soon and so of course baby quilts will be needed! I looked through the UFO closet and pulled out this older Berenstain Bears quilt top. The pattern is called "Arrows Up" and is by Jackie Seyer. This project hasn't been seen on the blog for almost 3 years. It fell into the UFO closet because at the time I thought it was very busy and frenetic looking, and I was going to add some borders to try to calm it down a bit.
But now I have decided it's the perfect size and wildness for a new baby quilt. I pieced a backing from that yellow fabric and some odd leftover pieces. Isn't that a great selvage edge on that fabric?
I have the Aurifil thread all ready to go... white on top and variegated yellow in the bobbin. It's pin basted and ready for "quilt as desired"!

A perfect baby quilt! Nice to have a quilt top ready to quilt when a baby (or two) comes along! Is there a second baby quilt in the UFO closet for the other baby?
What fun! Laughed when you mentioned the selvedges on the fabric...I bought that fabric just for that LOL.
I like how all your black and white prints tone down the business of the quilt.
What a cute pattern! I love the business of it -- perfect for a baby quilt.
Nice bright baby quilt. It's going to be fun to quilt with all the crayon colors.
That is a perfect bright color quilt for a kiddo.
I think it is colourful...not too busy!!
Cute quilt top.
I like the busyness - especially for a baby. Love the selvage edge.
Great bright fabrics for a baby quilt. Have fun quilting it.
