Quick Quilt for the Nursery

OK, I'm not showing you this quilt to account for some amazing technique or talent.  Maybe it's only to account for my time. :-)  We have quite a number of young children in the nursery at church.  So many that we have divided them into several different nurseries.  One of the nurseries needed a quilt to sit on for snack time / lesson time.  I looked through the fabric that had been given my by a friend when she was cleaning out her mom's house (after taking her to a home that could watch her better with the dementia she was suffering).  Lo and behold there was some printed fabric to look like a quilt that had a matching back.  What I used for the top had been cut - there was a big square with a hole cut in the center (maybe a tree skirt) and a cut from the middle of one side up to the hole.  There was a rectangular piece left over of the printed fabric.  There was also a plain green bagged with the fabrics that was close, but not an exact match of the green on the printed fabric.  Looked like a perfect way to quickly throw a quilt together.

I used left over batting and pieced it together. Then tried out a couple machine quilting stitches the plain green areas.   The rest of the quilt just got a "stitch-in-the-ditch" type quilting, nothing too complicated.  Finished it all in 2 days (piecing the batting took a lot of time).  But presto, a quilt that cost me nothing (but a little time).  And the children can eat snacks and contain the mess.
