Windy Days Baby Quilt

Some quilts are beautiful because of the design.

Others are beautiful because of the fabric choices.

But sometimes it's the quilting itself that gives the quilt its particular charm and appeal.

I'm pretty sure that it's the orange peel that makes me love this beauty.  Even taking into account the fact that each 4" block contains approximately 500 stitches and took me over an hour to accomplish...  Gee, am I glad I decided to do this on a baby quilt!  :)

This bright and cheerful quilt is finished just in time for baby's birth.  He has a quilt-lovin' mama, so it'll get a lot of loving use.  That makes me happy, happy, happy.
