Man I’m bad at naming quilts. I had an urge to make a squares in squares quilt last week with some of my fun girl fabrics. It went together fast, but reminded me of how much I hate sewing sashings, even when its only a small quilt. The backing is from Joann’s, the binding is more flea market fancy. It measures 34"x 44" and is in the shop.

Love the squares in squares pattern. Great fun fabrics too.

Simply adorable!

It's a great name! Super cute quilt.
Kimberly
Very pretty! I have a few of those fabrics and I love how everything came together! I've also made a quilt out of that owl print... I made a large applique owl to mimic the print and then used it for wide borders... yummy!
Have a great weekend, Kimberly

It's gorgeous! And the name is lovely actually :) Sashings really irritate me too... I try to get it over and done with quickly so I can move on to the actual quilting.

I hate sashing, too! I wish it wasn't such a pain, because I love how it looks. Your squares look great!

If I am going to name a quilt I just call it by the fabric/design or person I am giving it to or a combination of all of the above. :D See? I am REALLY bad at naming quilts! This is really lovely.
Andi
Really lovely quilt.
Andi :-)

Very sweet quilt! Love the fabrics you have used.
Simone de Klerk
What a very pretty quilt and I love the background you used! I love the way you give your quilts names. Birds and Blooms fits perfectly to this one!
Have a lovely weekend.

It is really cute. I'd be stumped for a name as well. Birds and Blooms really works for this one.

WAS in the shop LOL
Congrats on a quick sale!
Phyllis
oh my gosh - it's beautiful and I love it. I love about anything with birds and have been collecting some fabrics for a future project.
You continue to inspire me - thank you!
Leslye Leigh
It's beautiful, I love the fabrics!!!

Great inspiration again Allison - so cute!

O.k., how you do it is beyond me! Ever since I got pregnant, and now with baby, quilting has certainly taken a back seat! You're amazing- you turn those babies out so fast! :) This quilt is simply beautiful. I went to see it in the shop and obviously, someone else thought so also since it sold today already! ;)
Jodie B-C
OMG is this cute!
beccy
I don't know how you do it either! I'm up to block 70ish of a 270ish block quilt (following your double hourglass cheat!) and it's taken me weeks.
I love that you picked out the ickle birdies for this one, and the fabric is lovely and cheerful.
You're so inspirational (and make me feel so lazy), I might actually finish my own quilt one of these days :)
Owl_mania
lovely! I love the owls..
Rachel
I LOVE this quilt!!! It's amazing!!! It reminds me of neopolatin ice cream! Maybe that would be a good name?
cathleen
Oh, my, that is so pretty! The fabrics are just so beautiful together. It's bright, happy and, definitely, a quilt to love!
The Popes
OK, I basically HAVE to have this for my daughters new room! I've been looking all over for a quilt and I think this might be perfect!
I didn't see it in your shop though!
Jennifer
I love this! It's so cute. And I really love that backing fabric, I never see anything cute like that at my Joanns.
Margaret T. Zenk
hey, I think this could be done using the raw edge applique method that amanda jean from crazy mom quilts blog shows. just concentric squares. no real sashing. my joanns has that owl fabric too and i think i will go get it today. great quilt!!!
Cheryl Arkison
I'm not a sashing fan myself. But the results are great!
Jeni
That owl fabric on the back is too cute. I LOVE everything you make.
Your blog has been such an inspiration to me. My husband has been in Iraq but should be home NEXT WEEKEND! All summer until now I have come to your blog to give me ideas to stay busy. My time sure passed fast...in a way. I have done a few camera straps and the red and white quilt. Thank you for sharing all you ideas and for helping me get through one of the toughest times of my life!
Chantel
Thank you so much for having such an inspiring blog! I love to quilt and I'm slowly converting the rest of my family to this addicting hobby with your beautiful blog of creations. Keep up the wonderful work!
Jeff, Elizabeth, Caleb and Jake
I love it!
As for the above post where you mentioned nap time.... my 3 year old can't take them anymore and it's driving me nuts! Oh he'll fall asleep, but then he doesn't go to bed at night. He'll lay in bed until 10 or so just hanging out. Enjoy naps while you can!
I Love Baby Quilts!
What a perfect quilt! I love it! I'm making square in squares right now too and I REALLY hate sashing because a) it's a king size quilt and b) I don't own a machine. :(
The Patton's
Love the quilting and Really Love the Backing!
Erynn
Can someone please tell me the name of the outside fabric, in the right square of the second row?
Erynn
Thanks Allison, for the info. It's been driving me crazy since I knew I'd seen it somewhere, just couldn't place it. Thanks also for the tip, I'm so glad to hear they will be producing it again!
