Oh Baby!

Although I have three adult kids, I am not a grandmother as yet.  That's ok with me, I can wait.  But in the meantime, my Knitty Sister doesn't mind sharing her beautiful grandson with me from time to time.  Little Weldon is 21 months old and a going concern.

 
He will meet his new baby sister in September and I have been sewing in anticipation.  I gifted a new quilt for the new addition at my niece's baby shower last Sunday.  
I had purchased a jelly roll of Darling Little Dickens by Lydia Nelson for Moda fabrics last fall to have on hand for the next baby.  I cut the jelly roll (except for the strips that had white backgrounds) into 2 1/2" squares and made 16 patch blocks.  I then used Kona Snow for the alternate squares. I purchased some yardage in the same collection to use for the outer border and used a solid light green for the 1 1/2" inner border and binding .   I also pieced the backing from leftovers. It measures 48" x 56"

Then, the fun part!!  The quilting.  I quilted in free motion on "Petunia", my Pfaff Powerquilter 16.0.  I used Aurifil 50wt  colour #2024.

It's always a pleasure for me to make things for people I love. 💖
