I needed a break from my other project so I sewed the binding on this Shoo Fly quilt. (directions for the block on Lynn's blog, Solids on prints on her label list.)
I'm considering this a child's quilt because I used several novelty prints in the blocks.
It is 36.5" x 56" so it could be a big sister or brother quilt when gifting a baby quilt.
I used Hobbs 80/20 batting.
I have had the backing fabric for quite awhile and I'm sure it was on sale for a good price.
There are several novelty prints in this group of blocks. (Click on the photos to enlarge them)
The white with black fabric has several animals in it.
I like the little stripe I chose for the binding.
More of the novelty prints in the blocks.
Finally yesterday morning we got over a half inch of rain and then the sun came out later in the afternoon. I think the tomato plants grew about 3" because they were so happy. I think I see 2 volunteer tomato plants coming up in the raised bed too.

What cute novelty prints in Shoo fly quilt--really came out beautifully...
great work on this one!! :)))
And, your Interweave is really coming together so well...
61 here and we are in a dense fog bank this morning...it quiets everything down--can't even here our normal traffic sounds....

It may be a boring step, but Interweave is coming together nicely. I love to incorporate novelty prints in my scrappy quilts.
the childs quilt turned out really great! love the other quilt too
The half-framed shoofly design is so great, and ideal for novelties. I need to buy and plant tomatoes this week. Glad I mowed on Saturday before yesterday's rain.
‘Shoo Fly’ is such a fun quilt to gift to a big brother or sister.
And your interweave might be boring to you at this point, but it sure makes this quilt a winner.

The framed Shoo Fly blocks haven't been seen in a good while and now - presto chango - they're a finished quilt with a wonderful backing fabric and a jazzy binding!! Applause!
You make the Interwoven quilt making process look so easy and your chosen colors/fabrics are so pretty and calming.
Torrential rain here last night and a high today of 82*F.
Hugs!
That's a very happy quilt and a perfect size for a child.
Love it! Great prints.
What a bright happy quilt that Shoo Fly is! Some big sister or brother will love it. The backing and binding are perfect!
I am behind in commenting. Once my head hits the pillow I'm out because of this cold. The shoo Fly quilt turned out so cute!
