I'm back to quilting. I missed it. A month is too long. So here is what I've been working on. A gift...shhhhhhhh. I think the recipient is too busy with a two week old baby boy to read my blog so I'm taking a chance here. This was a joint effort along with my crafty sister in law; she did all of the cute embroidery work and picked out fabric.
This was my first baby quilt and I sure like doing quilts this size! This one came together fast and was really nice to quilt.
I quilted with white thread on the blue and with tan thread on the animal print. Then I stitched in the ditch around the embroidery block. I am a huge fan of Aurifil thread. It is a little spendy but one spool lasts a long time. 
I'm pretty proud of my binding corners on this one, they are my best yet. It has taken quite a few quilts to finally "get it".
So what type of quilts are your favorite to make? I really enjoyed doing a baby quilt, but I also like throw sizes. Then again, I love the look of a quilt on a bed, or on a wall...hmmmmm.
