The Quickest Quilt I Have Ever Made

I was really under the gun when I made this quilt!  My dear friend was having a baby girl and I had purchased a set of fabrics off of Etsy called, Hello Bear, by Art Gallery.  I love these fabrics!  So many adorable woodland type prints and a feature fabric with cute little animals.  

The birth was a good four months away when I got the fabric, so I didn't feel a rush to get going.  Then everything changed!  We got a phone call that we have been waiting for for a long time!  We were chosen to adopt a baby who was due to be born in under three weeks.

So yes, I needed to move on this quilt for my friend if I had any hope of giving it to her on time.  I certainly was not going to be sewing once my own little hunny had arrived!

My plan was simple.  The fabrics were great.  I just started cutting pieces in various size rectangles and squares.  Then I started sewing.  I added fabrics randomly until the piece was about the length I wanted for the quilt.  Then I made another section just as large.

Once I had many large quilt length sections I started cutting the sections lengthwise.  Then I would sew these long sections back together in other places.  I also cut the quilt widthwise and sewed those sections back together.  

This sounds confusing!  Anyways, the main idea is to sew big sections and then cut them into smaller sections and sew those all together.

In the end you get a random and modern looking quilt top that took me less than two hours to piece!
