Quilting!

 Baby quilt
Image: my latest quilt project. It is a lot of squares of pink/white bird patters and darker purple/lavender squares.

I finished the last details on this quilt just a few minutes ago and now I am boxing it up and sending it off to the UK (to a baby who isn't quite so new any more, but hopefully will still enjoy it.) It's going along with the other quilt that you saw, the brightly colored one with the buttons. That will be going to the child who is already a toddler. 

The backing for the quilt was an old bedsheet of ours which happened to match perfectly, but was a tiny bit worn on the other side. There were a few micro-holes and thin patches, so I decided it would be cute and clever to patch the back with various fun shapes.

Since it's hard to appreciate at a distance. Here's some close ups of the fabric, etc.

So, that's that project. Now I'm casting around for new ideas. I would like to make one for John, my nephew, who also just had a baby (or, I suppose, technically, his wife just did.) And, I've promised one to the UK folks for their older daughter, a tween. Then there are friends whom I'd like to make more for... I don't think I'll run out of pandemic quilting projects, at least! Which is a good thing. As my grandmother would say, it keeps me off the streets.
