The baby quilt is quilted, and ready to send off to the new baby. I cheated: instead of quilting it myself and dealing with the stretchy flannel back, I took it to a friend and she did a wonderful job! Much better than I would have done!
And it is finished. Here are a few pictures:
First, the complete quilt.

It is part of the Marcus “Collection for a Cause” series. The collection series are mostly reproductions of vintage quilts, and I liked the fabrics in this repro kit. I started it, but was challenged by cutting angles and having block edges on the bias. But now I am attempting it again, and have started making the “four patch” diamond blocks. There are about 100 of them, and I am just starting - 12 made so far.
The weather here in Michigan has been hinting fall….cooler nights and sunny 70s in the daytime. I hope it lasts for a while.
What is on your design wall? Mine is empty right now, but will soon have the UFO diamonds. up there. We are looking forward to seeing what you are working on. Thank you for faithfully linking up with our Design Wall Monday Linky Party each week. You are a blessing to me.
