Pat's Quilts N ew B aby Q uilt These little creatures  captured me recently  with the discovery   at my local Joann's  This nursery fabric panel is  titled: Susan Winget Tiny Creatures Panel Layering it along with a light w/ soft batting  and then adding for the back a printed  flannel  titled  sugar coral floral  , formed this quick quilt, Once machine stitched around all the creatures  and patterns to sew all layers together. Also used the back flannel print to bind. Rather pleased how it turned out  and with how  well this  quilt came together  as to gift. Think I maybe planning another panel quilt  in the nearing future for more enjoyment!
