Latest Baby Quilt finished

Another Baby Quilt

Just finished the top for this Baby Quilt, my girlfriend's other daughter is having her 1st Baby and she wanted blues and creams, soooo this is what I made:

Her husband proposed in Paris and they were married in Destin, Florida so that is why the choice of fabrics, I tried to pull a little more blue - well, aqua, she doesn't know if its a boy or girl, but I like the water theme, what do you think? I stuck with Pinwheels as I really like that for babies, why? have no clue.... Have a great Week, Hugs, Mary

Hi there....

Well Happy New Year to all quilting blogland! I am here....since Thanksgiving, My 92 yr old Mom's health has deteriorated slowly, she is back in the hospital as I write this. So, my quilting life has taken a backseat...I am still working on my blocks from When the Cold Wind Blows, but am very behind in a lot of other projects, therefore, I just wanted those to know that I am still around and am checking in on others blogs :) While sitting in my Mom's hospital room, I have been catching up on reading some of the many quilting magazines that seem to collect in my house. I read this by Mark Lipinski and it really was like reading works of wisdom. Mark says, "Taking a breath and stitching with intention is taking a forward step to gain physical, creative, spiritual and financial benefits through our creative process slowing down and being present will not only up your quilting game, it can transform every part of life - Slow Stitching Movement by Mark Lipinski. So now I don't feel that bad that I only stitch here and there where I can find time. It seems at night I get a lot of my handwork done, but since Thanksgiving, not so much, so I keep reading what Mark said and it is inspiring to me... I hope all is well with all of you, and I wish you (a little late than never) a very Happy and Healthy 2016. Hugs Mary It is not the destination but the journey that counts (kate knight) ;)
