Recently a friend of mine decided to travel Europe for a few months and then she was moving back to New Zealand. She is newly pregnant, so I wanted to make her a going away gift. I pulled out my Dr. Seuss fabrics since it's not gender specific.

I made this quilt in about 5 hours start to finish. It is about 38x50, which I purposely did so I wouldn't have to piece the back. :) I used a blue polka dot on the back:

The quilting is a meander style that was done on my Longarm machine (Handiquilter 16):

The binding is in the same grey that is on the quilt itself. She really loved the quilt!! I hope she is able to put it to good use once the baby comes. Thanks for looking!! :)

i love it! your spreading the love!

It's darling...I hope you labeled it so in years to come the child will know where it came from.......good ole USA

That is so cute.

What a great gift! It will be loved for years to come.

I did put a label on, I usually don't label my quilts (bad I know), but this one I made sure to so it would say where it was made and the year. :)

Very nice! I love the Dr. Seuss prints. I purchased 2 of the Grinch Christmas quilt kits for Christmas presents this year. Gotta get going on them!!!

Love it. What a nice gift.
