Another baby quilt top is hanging in the closet, waiting for quilting. Most likely this one will end up being a donation quilt. Or possibly a future baby gift.
Snail's Trail is about 44" square, and made entirely from the stash. About a week ago I saw 3 variations of this block online - a totally scrappy version, a blue version, and a blue plaid one. Seeing how pretty those quilts turned out inspired me to make some of these blocks too.
One block turned into 9, all pink. And the 9 blocks seemed like an excellent size for a baby quilt. That border is leftover from a backing on a previous quilt. In all honesty - that pink stash drawer is still packed and difficult to close.

very cute...one of my fave patterns...
Your snail's trail is very pretty! Of course one in blue would be even better but I do understand the need to make other colors occasionally. I want to make a snails trail someday also but the 'quilt to make' list keeps getting longer and longer! Happy stitching!
This is lovely! Snail's Trail block creates movement in the quilt. Great to use your stash.
Great finish! Making it entirely from stash is a bonus.
Fun! Snail's trail is such an intriguing design. One of the current quilt magazines has a ST that mimics elephant trunks.
