I have made this quilt 2x now. Basically I made enough squares for 3 baby quilts and have assembled 2 now. I used an assortment of greens and blues with some tan/brown tones in there as well and trimmed both with the dark brown border and green binding It's a very basic rail pattern and I'm really thrilled with the way they turned out. I forgot to take pictures of the first one which I gave to my friend Janice for her baby and this one is for my friend Megan and her baby boy. I machine quilted the horizontal and vertical rows to outline the main squares and then traced squares onto the border which I machine quilted as well. The first binding I hand finished and this one I machine finished. I like the plain flannel on the back as the front is so busy and I also think it brings the pattern of machine quilting out better. I plan on using a brown flannel for the third one.
