Quilted Play Mat

Quite a while ago I bookmarked this cute quilted play mat from The Purl Bee. When looking for something to make my soon-to-be-born cousin I came across it and decided that I would make her something like it.

I went through my fat quarters selection and decided that two pinkish florals and two yellowish florals were "the ones". The back of the play mat is blue floral fabric which coordinates nicely.

Instead of stitching designs into the play mat I top stitched around the edges and tied embroidery thread through the layers at the center of each square.

I wrapped it up with some scraps of the back blue floral fabric tied in bows.
