Weeks ago, I unearthed a collection of 6" HSTs in CW colors. I had no idea what I had planned to do with them at the time that I made them. I waited a little while and when no remembrance came, I started putting them together and liked what I was seeing.
My youngest grandson takes a nap at "school" during the afternoon, and I asked my dear DIL if he needed a quilt for those naps. With her affirmative response, I added a couple of carefully chosen borders and took the quilt off to Mary Ellen to machine for me.
It came home on Wednesday and the next night I made and machined on the binding. The past two nights while watching "West Wing" on Netflix, I got the hand-stitching finished.
This is a photo of the back; if you click to make it larger, you can see the beautiful leaves motif that Mary Ellen quilted. I don't think Eli will care. But I do.

Lovely quilting job. Nice little quilt!
Wow, how did you forget about those hsts? This quilt came together perfectly.
Pretty! I'm there will be wonderful sweet dreams produced at nap time!
Elijah Boo-u-ti-ful! It's quite handsome, Nancy, and looks so soft and warm already. Lovely colors.
Mmm, lovely. I think it's going to be well lived.
Very nice indeed - and yes, the quilting DOES matter (to anyone and everyone who comes in contact with the quilt, whether they realize it or not).
It is just a lovely quilt and will go well with its owner who is also lovely. Sothemeone should take a picture of him under it.
