phew this has been a close one, new granddaughter due to arrive tomorrow and only just finished this baby quilt. Got the pattern off the internet and the creator suggested it could be done in a day .... 3 months later and here we are! I'm afraid I chickened out of quilting the borders cos I am not very good at it and thought all mistakes would be very noticeable on the white fabric. Also I was wondering how I would quilt around the prairie points. I have quilted using stitch in ditch but was disappointed that I kept wandering out of ditch every time I went over a bump - and I had pressed seams flat as best as I could! Luckily it has wrinkled since being washed and therefore not quite so visible! All good experience, now on to the next project!!

Thanks for all the kind compliments everyone. Granddaughter is due to arrive today by c-section, DIL in hospital at mo so we are all waiting patiently.

Used a Moda charm pack for the quilt, but I washed them before use and all those perfectly cut squares weren't so square after I'd finished with them!! 8-)
