Two Baby Quilts
As you may have noticed, I have been on a finishing and photographing mission lately.
Someone admired a basket quilt that I made for the autistic school fund-raiser. That same someone is expecting her second child at the end of this summer. And since it's been my habit to make quilts for my coworkers, I decided to make this one for Sunnie's new baby. Presenting: "It's A Girl!"
This little quilt is for a baby I won't know. Over the summer, our hand sewing group is making at least one quilt apiece for The Baby Bureau or for the VA Hospital. I wanted to get some more experience with machine quilting and I had these seven blue CW orphans hanging around, so what happened next was logical! I had fun playing with the machine quilting but don't think I would like to do it on a very large quilt!

That is a great way to repurpose orphan blocks, and good for practicing quilting. The more you do it the more fun it becomes. : )
(Haven't seen or heard anything more about a quilt with setting triangles that were crying for feathers.)
Well done on your adventure in machine quilting, too. I've done a few small quilts and am sure the layers won't come apart but my stitching is less than stellar. Like you, I don't think I want to attempt machine quilting a large quilt. I imagine it would be no fun whatsoever.
You're certainly on a roll!
Hugs!
