Another Baby Gift Ready To Go!

This is a baby blanket for our nephew's little girl...(blush...they just sent us her 6 month picture). At least it's nice and big and she will hopefully cuddle with if for years to come. The top and bottom are both minkee and I have 2 more to make then no more all minkee quilts! They are wonderful to the feel but a royal pain to make as the fabric is really stretchy and hard to work with. I have 1 more to make for another nephew's daughter and my daughter think she needs one...she's 7 so it will have to be bigger! I'm trying to convince her to let me use flannel for one side!

Dry Spell Ended (I hope!)

It's been forever since I have completed anything quilting related! I started this Very Hungary Caterpiller quilt early in the year and got so busy with life..and job...and house improvements...and graduation!!! Well, the baby is now 6 months old but hopefully she will be a little toddler curled up with her blanket reading a book! I think part of the problem in getting it finished was that I used minkee on the back and was terrified as to how it would quilt up...silly me...it worked wonderfully! My daughter picked out the fabric as it was for the teacher she had for kindergarten's baby. When they were in kindergarten someone brought in 2 cocoons and they watched each day anticipating them turning into butterflies...and they did! I used a pantograph called Angel's Wings.
