As you can see, the design consists of wonky stars in a random layout - navy and green predominately, with a few baby ones in orange and red for some extra interest.
I kept the quilting simple with a big 'X' through the middle and then lines radiating outwards, 1" apart. I love this quick and easy design.
As this quilt is destined for a little man I had a bit of fun with the backing fabric and used some sweet and colourful dinosaurs. I love them!
For the binding I stuck with my go-to stripes (also used here and here). It matched perfectly! Unfortunately that was the last of that fabric. :(
This baby quilt finishes at 40" square and will be gifted this weekend. I hope he loves it.

Yes, I am happily crossing off my first finish for this quarter's FAL. Fingers crossed this is a sign of things to come! ;)
It is so adorable! The stars look like they are dancing and I love how some of them go past the edge! Good luck with the rest of your list!
