Over the years....don't ask me when....I added some white sashing and a scrappy border of some of my favourite fabrics.

Back in to the WiP wilderness it went before I rescued it and added some more sashing and a last scrappy border of Central Park and some of Anna Maria Horner's True Colors.

I did a pieced back using some Amy Butler and Anna Maria Horner fabrics which I picked up at bargain prices over the holidays....
....quilted it with some organic straight lines about 1" apart and bound it with some more True Colors.
Et voila! A baby/girl quilt for this little sweetie - my niece, Amina. She is my youngest sister-in-law's baby who I first met when she was just nine year's old and here she is all grown up 16 years later with her own baby.
I hope she'll enjoy kicking her legs while lying in the centre and later sitting and playing with her toys on it. I hope she'll drag it around and it will be a quilt she can grow in to. For me, well it's a first finish in a long time and a first finish for 2015.

Adorable new addition to the family! I love the borders you added and the dp blocks are gorgeous, beautiful quilt!
So nice to see this pop up in my reader. Recognisably an Annabella quilt and another beauty.
A beautiful quilt for beautiful Amina!

A beautiful qullt and baby!!
Beautiful all around. Central Park still is one of my favourite fabric lines ever!
The quilt had a longer gestation period than the baby :D It's lovely though, lucky Amina.
hahaha love kerrys comment! bubs is a wee cutie, and her quilt is lovely.
Curves are still on my list to try. Good for you! It's beautiful.
Kate Spain is always a favourite
Congrats on the beautiful finish! I'm sure your niece will love having such a fun, cheerful quilt to grow-up with. I'm mesmerized by the drunkards path design with the lush prints, so I can imagine Amina will also find it endlessly fun to explore and look at. :)
Oh my goodness this quilt is just so gorgeous! I love everything about it. The colours, the design, the quilting. She is one lucky little girl x
A beautiful quilt and beautiful baby. That is my sister in law's middle name. I've never heard anyone else that had it.
I love the wide white border! It is the perfect balance to the beautiful AMH centre!
What a lovely quilt in your usual fresh and colourful style. So good to see your post pop up in my reader. Happy 2015!
How lovely to see a post from you, and with such a beautiful quilt. And what a gorgeous baby. CJ xx
Glad it finally got its day in the sun, and hope the new recipient has a ball with it
Oh what a cutie she is!! And a gorgeous wee quilt to go with her too! jxo
What a beautiful quilt, the fabrics and the design are gorgeous!
I love this! It is so pretty, and what a great finish from something you had put away unfinished.
Your niece is adorable and your quilt is stunning - I love the combination of fabrics and you've put them all together beautifully :)
I love the colours, the white background sets them off so well. The baby is a real cutie
In this case baby trumps quilt. What a gorgeous infant. So sweet and perfect. Ps. The quilt is lovely too. ❤️
It's beautiful!
A beautiful quilt for the cutest baby!
Great quilt! I still haven't tackled curved blocks after thirteen years of quilting. I know how hopeless I am at keeping an even seam allowance as I go around curves! Cute baby niece too. I hope you get to see her often and have lots of cuddles.
What a little treasure and the quilts really pretty too!
I really like the mixed patterns in your drunkards path, its much more interesting that way.
Such a lovely name too - Amina, as pretty as she is : )
Oh it's lovely. but I do love Kate Spain! :)
Oh this quilt is just stunning! What a fantastic job you've done, I'm sure it will be loved and appreciated for many years to come.
