Tumbling Critters Baby Quilt

A dear friend and his wife recently had a very much wanted and anticipated new addition. As soon as I saw this adorable owl fabric, I knew it was meant for this family. They waited til the baby was born to find out the gender, but don't subscribe to "x is a boy color, y is a girl color" sort of thinking so I had total freedom in making this.

This also gave me a chance to use my tumbler ruler from Missouri Star Quilt Co. Because I was just using the one shape, this came together quickly. Not only was this done well in advance of the baby shower, I think it's the best thing I've done so far! The fabrics all play so well together! The foxes and owls are from Urban Zoologie from Robert Kaufman. I backed it with a nice soft flannel.

In a first, I used scraps from the blender fabrics to make a scrappy bias binding. Wasn't as complicated as I thought it would be and I think it looks great!
