Yay, I finished it in time! This is a baby quilt I made for my nephew Chad and his wife Shannon. This past weekend I drove up to Wilmington, NC for a baby shower for Shannon. I'd only started it two weeks previously, even though I had bought the fabric months ago, LOL. So lots of stitching there when it came to the hand quilting.
And if you look, you can see it's really the exact same pattern as this quilt I made for my granddaughter Finlay for Christmas:
I think Finlay's quilt came out well also. I find quilt very nice and cozy to wrap around oneself on chilly evenings. And since I made a quilt for Finlay I decided I needed to make one for John as well!
John's was a different pattern - the design sort of organized around how much I had of certain fabrics. But I wanted the stars since John is interested in start and planets right now, and the backing fabric I used was covered in stars and planets.
Anyway baby Ava Lynn is due early in May. I hope things go well with the new mother and father to be and that they get to enjoy the use of the quilt.
