    This is my first "real" quilt. I mean that I actually pieced the top, sandwiched, basted, then machine quilted. Babies love to look at bright contrasting colors. He is a new surprise to my 45 year old friendn husband and their 9 year old quads. He as conceived while the boys were taking a nap while the family was vacationed at the beach last summer. Thus the sea animals. And I wanted to use the silky binding because they just feel so good. :)

    This is the first quilt I will be giving away. I hope it doesn't fall apart!

    It is beautiful. I can tell a lot of thought went into this quilt. I'm betting they will love it. Great job.

    The picture doesn't show the colors very well. I'll post another picture tomorrow.

    You did a great job and you are so thoughtful. If you used a machine, it shouldn't fall apart.

    Very nice work and love your colors. I like that you shared the story related to your choice of fabrics-too funny.
