BABY LOVE!

Here's a picture of the hedgehog quilt I made for my new grandson. It was a labor of love and way outside my normal style of quilt - but it was really fun to stretch myself by sewing a different style and using a different technique - like pressing the seams open instead of to one side.


The back of the quilt includes the little guy's name. Plus, I added a bit of interest by including some sections leftover from the border on the front - this made it just the right size.

The baby was born yesterday and I can hardly wait to get my hands on him. We're leaving today to make the three hour drive to meet him. So excited!

My DIL sent me paint chips showing the colors that she wanted to include in the nursery. That made it easy when I was shopping for fabric - I highly recommend it!
Off I go - - -

  8. Great quilt with a BIG "L" for Love and your new grandson's name. He will cherish it when he grows older and perhaps if he doesn't doesn't wear it out in his childhood from love, he will have it for his son.

    Congratulations.

  20. The hedgehog quilt is cute as can be. I used to have a hedgehog made with broom bristles. Don't know what happened to it. I just know I don't have it any longer.

  22. Gayle, thanks for your comment on my blog. It got me to take a few minutes and catch up on your posts since before the move.
    Congratulations on your new addition - Decker looks pretty sweet and I love the name. The hedgehog quilt is soooo adorable and will be a favourite of his, I am sure.

    I have fallen behind in not just my blogging, but my blog visiting as well. I appreciate the nudge that got me caught up with you.

    hugs
