At the last Quilts for Kids meeting, I rummaged through a bin full of green fabrics that were donated to our group. I came across a large piece of Winnie the Pooh fabric and realized the color values were the same as the fabrics used for the quilt top. The theme many not have been the same, but the colors sure looked good together. The Winnie the Pooh fabric wasn't quite wide enough to cover the back of the quilt so I added a strip of green Kona solid to complete the backing piece.
I used a pantograph called Soho to quilt this and some bright variegated thread.
Once I finished quilting and binding the quilt, I realized what a nice surprise it would be for a child to find the back just as interesting as the front. It sure has a happy feel all the way around.
