Default Quilting and smocking for a new baby

We got the best Christmas gift ever: an announcement by our daughter they were expecting their third, a girl, after two boys now 6 and 3. She is turning 40 in June and expecting early July. They had genetic testing and all is well, and she is now 16 weeks along. I found a baby quilt pattern I like called Buttercup by Tilda, and it was free. I also had a pastel print jelly roll and a white on white jelly roll which made it perfect. The backing will be baby pink minkee.

I was kind of pressed for time as I was in the midst of working on a "hug" quilt for a friend diagnosed with colon cancer and my knee replacement scheduled for Feb. 13th was moved it up to Monday, the 29th of Jan. so haven't gotten too far yet, but here is my progress thus far.

I also dug out my smocking stash, that hasn't seen the light of day for probably 12 yrs, and started smocking at night while
my husband and I watch TV. I finished the dress last night.
