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.

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

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!
