Thank You for all the responses. So to answer a few of the questions...

Design:
Every quilt I have made has been my own design per say. I have not used any patterns. I draw it out and calculate the fabric and go with it. I have only been quilting since May of this year. I will try to post a couple of other quilts I have done. Of course, they are all special to me!

On Matthew's Quilt Design:
Matthew's Mommy did not want anything "blue" and both parents are very outdoorsy so I tried to create something along the outdoor type without taking away from the baby. I really wanted him to be able to use this for years.

The design... Well I saw a similar quilt with the name part intertwined with things and I really liked it, so I got out the graph paper and started sketching. I wasn't quite sure how to quilt it though that was tough. I know you can't see it in the picture but I did not want to take away from the design of the appliques so I just sewed a zigzag stitch back and forth every 4-6 inches on the cream fabric and on the trees just wavy lines.

Once again thanks for all the responses.
