Default Batman Baby Quilt...

I finished a quilt today that a friend asked me to make. My actual feelings are that Batman is rather a dark subject for a newborn baby, but the parents are really "into" Batman, so ok... I started looking & found some fabrics for it. The most colorful one was to be the backing & I fussy cut a block for the center focal fabric. From there I just kept putting together strips of Batman fabric, alternating with white strips to give a bigger wow factor. When it came to doing the FMQ, I was afraid of it looking rather boring, so I used a multi-color specialty thread we'd gotten a while back from Jo-Ann's & did a meander all over except the focal block. That I simply detailed so nothing would be lost. I washed it & used some softener this morning so it's all ready to snuggle. :-) It's not my usual colorful baby quilt, but I kind of like the overall design anyway. Sure hope they do!
