The past few years many of our friends have been having babies. This is great for us! Our friends now understand why it is so important that we are home in time for the 7pm bedtime. But for me personally, it means I have an excuse to make lots of quilts!
This is the first time I ever designed my own quilt. There's nothing particularly unique about the blocks, but I like the effect of the colors I chose to use. The beginning inspiration for this quilt was the pink leopard print. The mom-to-be loves leopard print and the baby is a girl so it was meant to be!
This picture is of the finished top, prior to quilting. My mom is a long-armer, so she quilted this one for me.

Additionally, with this quilt I learned how to miter the corners. It was a new skill for me, so it's always nice to add new techniques!
The baby that received this quilt just turned 4 months old. I think she's going to enjoy it!
