100 acre woods quilt - for baby w

oh hey there, blog-o-sphere.
we're back with a finished project post, and january isn't even over yet!
my unposted projects of 2019 list is much longer than it should be... and given that i already have one finish for 2020 under my belt now, i've got to get things underway!
so why not kick it off with this little paper pieced cutie?
remember this guy? the lion king quilt?
well, lion king quilt had a brother!
my dear friend amy had baby number 2 in the summer of 2018, and i had high intentions to get them another coordinated quilt before he made his debut.  that didn't happen. but it's all good!
big brother got the lion king quilt when he was born, and when baby 2 was on the way, i had to figure out what my next option was.  well, the other disney character i associated amy with was tigger!
this collection of winnie the pooh characters was perfect, and i magically had just enough of the same blue and green to create the background and sashing the same way.
i decided to align the main four down the center row, and then offset the other based on the browns.  the tigger block is easily my favorite, but gopher is pretty dang adorable too.

when doing the finishings on the quilt, i kept the quilting the same as i did on the original lion king one.  i stitched only in the green, framing the characters.  for the backing, i didn't find a fitted sheet, but i found this PERFECT yardage and had to make it work.  to make it the right width and add some coordinating colors to it, i searched the scrap bin and created some blocking to the side of it.  the binding is ALSO the same as the lion king one, but this time i machine bound it.
it was fun to get this set of patterns out for amy's littlest, even though i know she STILL doesn't allow the lion king quilt to get used.
ha!  i was also able to gift this quilt in person this summer when amy came to visit, which was an added benefit (as well as the cause to create a deadline)
