Quilted Baby Bedspread 50X60

Last week I completed this quilted baby bedspread, a log cabin block style.  It was quite tedious as I cut up a 1 1/2 inch and 2 inches of fabrics.  I ran out of fabrics and decided to use some of my green fat squares fabrics that were bought on sale from Hancock Fabrics for $.99.  However, the outcome is excellent.  Backing was made of broadcloth green fabric.  Showing the overall and completed quilted bedspread.
