Well, things are starting to look up here at the end of this week. I finished up stitching the binding this morning, my little one is feeling better and the sun finally came out of hiding this afternoon!
This stripe quilt is super simple in its design and I think the addition of the rick rack just makes it a little more special. It sure shows off the Brrr! fabrics and those cute little polar bears!
I've seen some other fun quilts around here, here & here, if you need some more stripe quilt inspiration.

The backing is mostly a red flannel that's been hanging around for awhile. I had to add a stripe of fabric in there to make it wide enough for basting and quilting.
I'm happy to have this one finished up as my first quilt of 2012!
Thanks for visiting with me!

pattern: fabric dimensions and amounts are in this post, I'm sure at one time I saw this quilt and that's probably why I thought of adding in the white stripe between the prints.

I'm a new follower and stopped by tonight as I know tomorrow is your turn on the Simply Charmed Blog Tour. So I'm all set and will be back tomorrow to see what your project is. See you then!
Love the addition of the ric rac for a quilt. Heart those fabrics as well. Sort of kicking my self that I didn't buy some up from her shop when she still had them there.
