Within the past year, I had 1 great-nephew and 2 great-nieces join our family, sent straight from Heaven! Oh, how I wish I lived near them! Since I don't, I had to make some "hugs" for them. Here is the first one I made, which was for baby Ridge and delivered last May (Here's his momma's blog) :
I chose a coin stack pattern for an "I Spy" type quilt. I found the pattern at Moda Bake Shop. It is very busy and very boyish. I forgot to get some good photos before I delivered it (ok, well, that's because I was still stitching the binding up until a day or so before I presented it. I was on a long vacation and took it along with me to finish!). The photos here don't show how bright it really is.
I wish I had been a quilter when each of my little great-nieces and great-nephews were born. I have several that I have sent little things to, but I would love to make them a fun scrappy quilt, too. I just might do that.
They'll just have to WAIT a little while.....

Being a new quilter (this was my third), I forgot the importance of making the quilt back a very simple one. Well, this one was REALLY cool.... but became a little lopsided when it was put on the long-arm, which was my fault. Another lesson learned the hard way. I LOVE the black background fabric - it's my favorite one.
