If your wondering why the quilt is hanging from my shower curtain, it's because it was too windy to hang it on the cloths line outside :) . This pattern came from one of Alex Anderson's baby quilt books. This paticular pattern is called Grandma's Favorite.
The lady that asked me to do the quilt wanted it to be able to work for either a boy our a girl. That is why I used the colors yellow, cream, green, and blue.
In the sashing, I quilted free motion stars with two curving lines flowing in between them to make them look like they were floating. The two curvy lines turned out to kind of look like ribbon.
For the nine patch blocks, I just quilted in the ditch so it wouldn't distract from the pattern.
I delivered the quilt to the lady and she was very pleased with it. She thought it was really cute. She also said that she would need me to make another one for her for August! Here we go again :) ! It's a good thing that I love to sew!
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year! :)
