I backed the quilt with a Kaffe Fasset stripe and the leftovers of the FQs I used on the front. Then, free motion quilted with a infinity loop. I have also decided Quilter's Dream batting is my batting of choice. It's so worth the extra $$!! All of the quilts I've used it on are so incredibly soft to the touch. I love it. I have a custom listing for a quilt like this in my shop!
For the next baby quilt, my friends Mark and Samantha asked me to make them a quilt for their niece. They told me pink and green (again) and so we decided on Posy by Aneela Hoey.
While driving one day I came up this design and jotted it down real quick on my son's index cards.
I backed this one with a print from lizzy house's hello pilgrim, bound it with the text print from posy, quilted it with a meandering loop. Again using quilters dream, and again SO soft. It was so pretty!
And then the third one was for a friend of he family. She needed a baby boy quilt. That was all the direction I received. So, I went with Allison Cole's, Festive Forest. I did four large pluses after much turmoil and changing my mind... Luckily I enjoy using leftovers for backing. The back of this quilt I like better than the front!

I am so making that giant star! Love the pink and green! Thanks for posting the tutorial link!
