Gail's first quilt!

This is my friend Gail. We work together at the law firm. She became a first time Grandma a few months ago to a precious baby boy. This is her first quilt, completely pieced by her on her lunch hour here at work!!I had recently seen this great pattern on Moda Bake Shop and thought how good it would look in little boy colors. Since I wanted to make it smaller, I re-drafted the blocks. I also made it rectangular instead of square (I know, I have issues...LOL).

Here we are - teacher and student. Doesn't she look proud?? I think (hope) we all remember that feeling of accomplishment when we finished our first quilt :).

The baby's nursery is cream and brown, so I think Gail did a great job. We bought a few pieces of fabric that co-ordinated with the border fabric, then we raided my stash!

Gail's son had a beloved Husky since he was a boy. "Timber" is no longer here, but we found this wonderful fabric and put a panel of it on the back. I think it will be great for "tummy time" :).

I quilted this in an overall swirl pattern based on the design in one of the fabrics.

Congratulations Gail - you are now a quilter!!!

Until next time,

-Karen
