That's so cute Thimblebug! I"m sure the recipient will love it! I just finished a baby quilt for my physical therapist. It was a bit of a challenge because I didn't know the sex of the baby or the colors of their nursery and had only a couple weeks to make it which mostly meant a couple weekends as I'm back working part time now. I found some cute juvenile fabric with dogs on it (he loves his dog) and used that. I think he really appreciated that I thought of him so it was good.
I'm going to try to get up to the sewing room and work on my husband's quilt but I'm having trouble getting motivated so we shall see. I might end up just working on my hexie project which is getting close to being finished.
