Friday Finish - Return of the Mega Bib

Well, the tree is down and the ornaments packed away. DT can't possibly keep wearing their Christmas Mega Bibs (no matter how popular they were in the blogosphere).
Time to whip up a less seasonal version! These were made of laminated cotton from my stash and backed with Kona Bahama Blue and Lake that I had on hand (hence the seam).The print is Tear Drop from Dear Stella.
I had just enough of the Cat in the Hat laminate (previously seen in The evolution of a Bib) left to make two more Mega Bibs. I will admit that I had to make the side flaps just a little smaller to fit my pattern on the yardage I had. Turns out that they fit DT better than the Christmas original!  These ones are backed in Kona Chinese Red and Peacock, FQs from The Candy Coated Collection. Thank goodness I haven't given that up for The Year of the Stash!
Himself requested a larger piece of Velcro to make the neck closure more adjustable. Done. Honestly, these bibs just get better and better!
And because these bibs are so awesome, they were much admired at a family gathering on Boxing Day. Cousin Isaac needed one too (he has a quilt, but that's no good at suppertime). His version is made with the last bits of my Ann Kelle laminate and backed with Kona Chartreuse.
 
There are mere scraps of laminated cotton in my stash now. Perhaps enough for a zipper pouch or two. ☺ How's that for using one's stash? One might even call these Stash Projects #1! It may not be a quilty finish, but it's a finish nonetheless. I'm linking up with TGIFF @ Faith and Fabric, as well as with Finish Up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts.
