'50c Mixture' - baby buggy blanket or kick mat


I found some pieces of Remix Ovals in a drawer that I was cleaning out the other day beside my sewing machine, with a note attached telling myself to make a chequerboard quilt with them...so here it is!

The pieces of Remix (by Anne Kelle for Robert Kaufman) were leftover from the String of Pearls quilt I made last year.

It is just a small baby kick mat or buggy blanket, of 32" x 32"', with a bright yellow flannel on the back, and a black and white binding. I quilted in the ditch along all the seams, with white thread, then did horizontal lines along the middle of the squares.


It is made from 2" squares and when thinking of a name, with the word Remix, I thought of the good old Kiwi 50 cent mixture, with all the different colours of lollies.

  2. It makes a fantastic checkerboard quilt - I love hot it makes the circles pop and with all the contrast and bright colours a baby will absolutely love it!

    1. Cheers, I love the bright colours too - wasn't sure about using the yellow flannel but was determined to use something from my stash and, in the end, it looks fine!

  4. This is too cute! I think my favorite part is that binding, though, it really adds to the finished quilt.

    1. Thanks Jen! It is a snazzy black and white that I bought quite a bit of last year - must get some more, it is coming in really handy as the finishing touch for binding, something a bit different!
