I like your quilt it a lot! Good work!

great job I love it and it looks like the big girl does too. Congrats on the new baby!!

What a sweetie you have there. Looks like we have some new quilting board grand babies coming our way. Hope you two will be sharing lots of pictures with us online grannies.
Great quilt by the way. Scrappies are my favorite kind of quilts.

I really like that quilt. Congrats on the little angel thats about to join your family. Big sis looks like she really will enjoy her quilt. By the way she is adorable.

The quilt is beautiful and very cheerful looking. It looks as if the new owner is quite happy with it as well!

Thanks so much everyone for the compliments on the quilt and my girl!

Erin is the light in my life, she is truly a wonderful wonderful sweetie, she amazes me every day. Can I get lucky with a great kid twice?

I do have plenty extra of these blocks (I got a bit carried away) I could do one for brother and use a "boy" color for the border!

I"ve already got Erin helping to throw away little strings and scraps and handing me safety pins when I sandwich my quilt. Next step - safety scissors to have her help cut apart my chain pieces! :-P

Ilena - tht is a wonderful scrap quilt. So colorful!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks for the link to the great tutorial. Hope mine turns out as nice as yours.

If you do try this quilt be sure to "throw in" any left over flying geese, 9 patches, or whatever you've got stashed about. It really adds some interest in the blocks!
