Isaac's Stained Glass Baby Quilt

You know me!  I never have just ONE quilt going at a time!  Besides the Mystery Quilt, I have also been working on a quilt for my new little Grandson, Isaac, not even two weeks old.  Isaac will be getting his new quilt next week.  I've been working on it for a few weeks now, and it is finally finished.  I know that babies like bright colors, and I have heard that black is a good contrast with bright colors for babies (especially yellow and black.)  I've always wanted to make a Stained Glass quilt, but all that edging in black seems tedious, so this baby quilt is just the ticket!  Not tooo big, but big enough to get the stained glass effect.

I had a new panel of dragons, and some dinosaurs left over from a previous project, and I thought they looked good together.  I have plenty of bright colors in my stash, and as I looked through my scraps and stash, I noticed that I also have a lot of polka dots and circle-y fabrics.  So I decided to use those, with the idea of eventually quilting it with my circle template.  A cute theme of Dots and Spots!  Here's the progression of the making of this quilt:

The START!  Laying out the dinos and dragons.  The size of the quilt
was determined by the fact that my dragon panel had 10 dragons on it.
 I used 9 of the ten, making a 3 x 3 quilt of 14" squares.
 The finished quilt will be @ 50" square.

All fabric is cut and placed, sampling borders.  This particular
border seemed too busy for quilt, and I decided to use it as
the binding instead.

Nine finished blocks

With a plain black border to match the sashings, the quilt is pinned.

I made the polka-dotted binding strip is a little wider than usual.
The quilt is FINISHED!

The quilting circles show up better on the back, a soft green flannel.

I can't wait to snuggle up with my grandsons!
