Its a girl
 

My step daughter had a baby girl on Sunday. This is the first grand child for hubby and I and we are thrilled.

Last September hubby and I were on an Alaskan cruise , at one of the quilt shops in Ketchikan , he spotted this pattern and said it would make the perfect quilt for the first grandson, I bought the pattern thinking that I would not have to make it for a while. A few months later we got the news that Megan was expecting and I needed to get busy. I decided I needed to make two quilts as the pattern that hubby had picked was quite masculine.

I made the girl quilt first and finished this at the end of February. It is a disappearing nine patch in pastel florals.

I have not yet finished the boy quilt...luckily I can now take my time and keep it for the next boy baby.

This is not my quilt but the quilt in the shop in Ketchikan.( I cant find my camera cord to upload). This quilt finishes at 60 inches square which I think is too large for a baby quilt so I may end up finishing it and using it as a wall hanging for the man cave.

Those are gorgeous! I started making baby quilts for my future grandbabies. When I realized how big it was my daughter said, well how long do you want them to use it? I thought, hmmm. The kid has a point. Now they can use it through the toddler years too. I say leave it bigger. I love the colors in them.

I love the sweet colors in the baby girl quilt - congratulations to the whole family!

Congrats on the new baby. Love your quilt

Love both quilts! Could you tell me the name of the pattern for the boy's quilt as my niece is doing her son's room in ships and that would be perfect! Thanks Anna

Congratulations! The baby quilt is sweet and adorable for the new little one.

There is nothing better than having sweet grand baby's to spoil Both quilts are beautiful.
