Baby Baby


Last year I wanted to practice machine free motion quilting. So I went out and found this pannel and thought I'd make a baby blanket for an unknown baby gift for down the road. Well I free motioned away and went looking for something to bind it. crazy time. This blue was imposible to find a plain cotton broadcloth to match as it has a touch of green to it. The red and green proved just as hard to find. I was scoping out the local Fabricland's December sale and came across this navy fabric with small hearts. I imiediately thought this will be the ticket for that quilt. Several days after Xmas I learned that one of my son's friend's older sister is going to have a baby in a couple of weeks. Perfect... I now have a baby for the gift. so I whipped up the binding this morning and It is now ready for the giving... I love babies. as you can see the binding does nicely.

Thanks Gerry Sometimes waiting is really worth it. this time it helped that I am slow to finish things as I didn't feel the need to finish it unless I had just the right binding.
