    The quilt is just wonderful! You did a great job. I love those little books. I purchased almost a half-bolt of the panel book "Prayers for Children" and that is my shower gift when they ask for books.

The whole process took me so much less time from set to to the actual quilting - and I had a great time! I would be still working on the fmq if I hadn't rented the machine. My daughter had also requested books at her shower - I decided to make one of those fabric panel books (also a first for me), just to be sure I wouldn't duplicate a book someone else might give her.

    What a great job you did! I just got my new long arm up and running last week. I did 2 Quilts for Kids on it and am working on one for myself, but ran out of thread. I was surprised how much thread it takes, but how fast it goes. I am going to do several tops so I can do one right after the other. Have ordered some wide quilt backing so I can do 2 side by side as has already been mentioned. Now start saving your pennies so you can get your own.

    I love batiks and would never have thought to use them in a baby quilt, but I will now. Your quilt, baby book and quilting is beautiful.

    Cute quilt. Love the elephants. Good job on the quilting, as well.

    The elephants reminds me of a cake decorating class I took a million years ago. We made a cake with pink, drunken elephants crawling on, in, and out of the cake. It was so cute.
