Sleepy Fox

 It is COMPLETED.  The sleepy fox baby quilt is DONE!  And I am so happy. I spent most of Tuesday afternoon hand sewing the binding.  Here is the cute woodland backing; it is a lovely soft fabric, not flannel, though.

For the quilting, I just outlined the trees and stitched in the ditch of the many triangles of the fox. I used my walking foot on my old, old Bernina. Best stitching I have done in a while. 

 I didn't want to over do it, but it seems a little wrinkly on the front side.

Here were some process photos of how I assembled the trees . I did take inspiration from 3rd story workshop which I found on Pinterest. She even had a tutorial on how she assembled the trees which I found long after mine were created. 

Here are some of the various "birch" trees that I created in previous week. 

This is the sleepy fox up close.  It was paper pieced  and here is the pattern from etsy: Sleepy fox pattern site It ends up 12 by 16 I think. 

And here is my lovely finished quilt. The binding is the same as the backing. 

Now looking at it, I think I need to iron it before mailing it. But it turned out great!  My husband twice has gone out of his way to compliment me on this project.  ( And I did lately tell him how it was a creative block at the time; the assembly of the trees was easier than I thought. But it was kind of putsy.

So sleep on little fox and I hope the precious little girl will love you, too.
