Congrats! same thing happened to my daughter! Everything said GIRL right up until out came a 9 lb 3 oz BOY ! The Dr. said she guessed he was shy..... I had a log cabin in pastels, of course with a hand embroidered label that started' to my beautiful grand daughter Lilly Anne'...
How a bout a signature block? Or, Fons & Porter had a pattern back on 1997 maybe 98' a Graduation quilt, a veriation of a signature block , another one I like is a baby bowtie, with the bowties connected in a circle... it makes this great chain effect, with a (peiced) center.

do you have a picture of the baby bowtie??? I like that idea. I want it to be similar to his older brothers, but not the same. My older son's was a rail fence in NY Giants red/white/blue. I did 4 cross stitch squares (12 in) with name, date, etc. life verse, poem and Giants emblem. I'm thinking the same with the cross stitch, but differ baby #2's quilt by using a different pattern.

Not until tonight - I'm at work and probably supposed to be doing something else right now! Ha ha.

Lol, well, the tech at my ultrasound said he was 100% sure that it was a boy, and we all saw him being NOT shy, lol, but we're having the 3D ultrasound done in a few weeks, and then we'll see for sure, instead of a blurry appendage.

Blue and white is always a great contrast. It looks terrific with a bear paw but I'm not that fond of the block for a baby.

I believe I do, when I get home ( I have a great job, but it does take up alot of the day!) I'll dig it up ; hopefully it'll be on a disk, my scanner isn't talking to my computer for some reason...

I wish every one good luck - no matter which sex baby they have and I hope they are all born healthy. :P :P :P

Hi Rose, it seems I was paying attention last summer because I took pictures of all the quilts I finished,except this one; AND put them on a disk. Here's a photo of the baby bowtie with the chain configuration.
I did this block for the first time when I first started quilting, and felll in love with it.I never did manage to get a photo with the Mommy at the shower, oh well, you'll get idea from the photo.

Aren't you glad you found out BEFORE the walls were pink and lavender? Congrats.

I think Hugs and Kisses works well in 2 colors.
