The quilt guild sewing day was held last week, and we had about a dozen members in attendance working together to make baby quilts for a local pregnancy center. I decided to use some older batiks from my stash to make another Quicker Strippie quilt. Like my previous version of this pattern, I changed some of the strip sizes, cutting all of the widest strips at 9.5".
Quicker Strippy baby quilt
38.5" x 44"
My fabric choices for this quilt top were based on the beautiful flannel print that was used on the back. I remember buying this fabric when the Hancock Fabrics chain was having their going-out-of-business sales, probably 8-10 years ago.
I might have enough of these fabrics to get one more baby quilt out of them if I reverse the placement of the green and the peachy/orange batiks. Maybe I'll go ahead and cut the strips to keep together as a kit for when I'm in the mood for a quick and easy project.

Very bold, bright and fun! A great way to use of a few odds and ends in the stash. But it certainly doesn't look like a "leftovers" quilt.
