Finishing the Baby Quilt and Getting it Ready for Gifting

My latest baby quilt is finished and I am getting it ready to gift to Eliza, a beautiful new baby girl.  I can't wait to see her in person.  

Here's some pictures of the quilt which finished at 45 in. by 58 in., with the hst's at 6 inches.


I quilted it following the zigzags, which was easy. 





The doll quilt finished at 10.5 in. by 13 in. and the little hst's are 1 inch.  We found a little elephant rattle to wrap up in the doll quilt.



Here's the label.  I had to look up exactly what my relationship to the baby is. Her Grandmother is my niece.  I'm her Great Grand Aunt!  What a mouthful!



Here is the back of the doll quilt, with the small zigzag quilting.  It was such a fun project, and my last two finishes for 2015.



Look at the cute bag I found at the Dollar Store to put the gifts in!  It's an elephant themed baby gift, that is for sure.   

I am in Texas visiting our daughter, and will deliver this gift on the way back home.

I'm looking at other quilter's design walls, (Here) at Patchwork Times.  Enjoy!
