Baby Quilt for A Gift

SO I pulled out this cute alphabet animal fabric to make a baby quilt for Lovely Jean's co-worker.  I think she said it's a boy, so I coordinated the little blue checks with it. This is the same pattern I used for the quilt I made earlier in the civil war/reproduction/prim fabric. It's a free pattern from So Can She here's the LINK. It's laid out on the diagonal, so I starteched the heck out of the border when I pressed it.

I had just a tiny little bump in the edge when I loaded it on Freddie, but I worked it in pretty well. I'm getting good at fudging those bumps in!

I used the same heart design that I used in the red quilt HERE. 

I made it kind of scrappy and was torn with how the 4 patch squares should go. I settled with them going any way they want to!

The animals are so cute and a nice variety. I added borders to the backing and I think I did a pretty darn good job getting the animal print centered on the back. 

I had a little trouble with Freddie and thread breaks, but I'm getting very good at fixing the stitching when that happens. 

It came out very good I think! One more practice quilt done!

I think I'll be practicing for a LONG time. 

And this little guy has been very busy outdoors!

Trying to escape, 

catching poor Bob,

dumping my shredder bin in the house, 

playing on the porch, 

and inspecting sticks out in the yard.

I'll need to work in some more quilting time!
