Baby quilt for Vere's nephew & wife


Vere's sister, Verlene has a new grandbaby, a boy.  Vere suggested I make a quilt for the new addition.   I was anxious to try out this pattern I had seen somewhere so it didn't take me long to get started.  I had this material for some time and didn't know what to do with it.  I didn't want to do elaborate piecing for a front for this, but also didn't want to just "cheat" and pretend it was pieced.  I decided this was a perfect, simple front for this fabric.  The words were the hardest, I improvised and put them together, and learned a few things about what to do, and what not to do.  There's another word associated with babies, but  I didn't want it on the quilt. Machine quilting it was a lot of fun.
