All quilted!
Thursday, July 14, 2011 at 8:14AM I didn’t get much sleep again last night, but I’m not complaining because I got Little Boy Blue all quilted!
;)
I love the way this turned out! Designing and making toddler/baby quilts is my absolute favorite thing to do when it comes to quilting. I truly hope this little baby boy gets some comfort from this quilt, and maybe someday it will have the honor of being his “blankie”.

I used a traditional Baptist Fan on this one, and Superior Threads new Omni… I am really, really liking this thread!
Now to get the binding cut, put on and a label made!
I have two bowls of tomatoes I picked, so I’m going to grab my shower, run the tomatoes through the food mill and get some sauce cooking down and I think we’ll have chicken Parmesan tonight. I rather feel like I’m on vacation today, on top of the 3.25 inches of rain we got yesterday afternoon, it rained another half inch last night so I was able to skip my daily three hour watering regime, woohoo!
Sadly, the storm destroyed two more of our fruit trees. One broke entirely in half, the other ripped out by the roots.

we didn't loose any trees in the storm so glad of that, sorry to hear that you did, the wind and thunder and lightening was quite a display!
The quilt looks really cute it turned out great.

Beautiful! You ended up flipping the upside-down block, I see. It looks great!
What an adorable quilt! I cannot believe how fast you got this done. I really love how you work on one project and finish it. I wish my ADD, OCD head could do that too.
Beautiful!
That is a beautiful quilt. The family will appreciate your kindness very much.
The new thread supply is beautiful - and I don't care for brights for myself. I am sure you will find them useful in your baby quilts. So many people are using brights in their quilts - I am sure some of your customers will send you bright tops too.

We had a bad thunderstorm last night, too, but no damage! You do good work, girl! I love the quilting on the quilt! Tell us more about this new Omni thread!
Not surprised to see this all quilted! Your correspondence at 3:30 a.m. gave me the first clue! LOL!!!-)
Looks great -- love the blocks and sashing on point ;-D
Very cute! Love the babtist fan design! I just got back from my 3 day LA training and bought more Omni to add to my growing thread collection. I love thread more than fabric! Have a great day
It is absolutely beautiful. I am a blue fanatic, so I might be a bit biased. Nope, it IS beautiful.
Happy to hear that you like our new OMNI thread. The blues are a beautiful choice!
