Thank you all for your compliments.

But, you see that there are

all straight lines, piecing and quilting
no triangles....
strip piecing, goes fast..
cross hatching = fewer stops and starts...

I am not usually a machine piecer, but there is a time and place for everything, right...

No more quilting snobs at my house..lol

Wow, what a job! I just love that label, beautiful work and fast too. Let me guess you didn't have much warning?

It's funny in a way I keep telling my sister. "two weeks is plenty of time to do a baby quilt" but over and over she doesn't believe me, so I end up doing it in an evening to have it done (and perhaps to prove a point). :D

As for the camo, perhaps that's a baby blanket in a year or twelve. :D

Amazing !!! Did you do the cross-hatch machine quilting on a regular sewing machine? I try, but I really need a lot more practice. How do you get it so well balanced. I'm not really sure how to do the math for spacing, etc.

Yes, I did the quilting on my regular sewing machine.

I just sewed diagonally across the squares...no need to measure for spacing, you just aim for the corner of each square.
