Quilt finish #2 from 2011

This is the second quilt I ever made and I finished it in early 2011. I made it for my son

I followed this tutorial: http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2009/12/raw-edge-circle-quilt-tutorial.html?m=1

I was clearly a novice and hadn't accumulated a ton of scraps yet, but I actually like this still. It's small--about 30x30, maybe, but it was perfect for a stroller/car seat blanket.

There were a lot of things I tried with this--self binding, mitered corners on the borders in the backing and raw-edge appliqué. I used a double layer of batting to make it puffier and it has held up really well.

We still use this as a car blanket for my son and he definitely knows it's his quilt, made by Mommy :-)
