This isn't a typical baby quilt design, but because this quilt is only 29.5" x 37", the size makes it appropriate. It was started in a workshop in 1991 when we were to design several blocks, choose one, and repeat the block for an original design. I used one of the very earliest packages of Cherrywood hand dyed fabric by Dawn Hall, the originator of the Cherrywood dyeing technique. She was the niece of my employer at a quilt shop. The other fabrics were from my stash.
I still had enough of the white, gray, beige print in the quilt for the backing. I guess I knew I would finish this one some day and might need it. I decided on a gray print for the binding rather than emphasize any color from the quilt.
I'm basting one more baby quilt that I hope to finish this month.

Congrats on your designed finish. It reminds me of mountains and sky. Great idea to use the binding fabric the same as the border. I've done that with a few quilts recently.
