This is for my friend's second daughter, Kyla. I knew I wanted yellow and I knew I wanted scrappy, so I bought two fat quarter packs, then stared at them for a while trying to decide what to do. That happens a lot. The middle medallion is made of one inch squares which I set on point. I added a small yellow border, and then stuck it on my design wall and thought about what to do some more, because obviously that little bit wasn't big enough. Since I was about to move across the country, I took the easy way out and went with the theme square I had going on. I didn't want this quilt to be square, so I grabbed some yellow from my stash to add top and bottom borders. I used binky on the back so it didn't need to be quilted. However, I had left the white around the medallion originally to quilt so I went ahead and did some free-motion quilting there. I got it done before we moved, and was able to hand-deliver it since we were moving to the same town as them.
It's the first time I've ever used binky, and I recommend it highly, especially if you're in a hurry and don't have time to actually quilt something. It doesn't even require a batting and is also softer than fleece or flannel. I may actually make a quilt for myself using binky for the backing, it's so comfy.
