Design Wall Monday
This is what is on my design wall today. I started it at Jeanne's 50th Birthday Party Quilt Retreat in January of 2011 and only completed four blocks that week. This is definitely a UFO I want to finish this year.
The pattern is Root Beer Float by Hyacinth Quilt Designs. Here are some of the fabrics in the running for putting it together. We'll see how it all turns out. Now that I look at them, though, I think I need to throw in some more blues and greens!

Love Seeing Baby Quilts Being Used
I was so happy to see this photo on FaceBook this morning!
I told you about the quilt I made for Naomi in this post. I am happy to report that Naomi's daughter, Katelyn Anne, has arrived. She went home from the hospital covered in her quilt. I am so glad I didn't wait until she was born before mailing it. How special that she is using it her very first day out of the hospital. Quilters love to see people using quilts instead of "saving" them!

An I Spy Finish!
I know two very happy boys. My 3 year old great-nephew Phenyx.....
......and my 1 year old great-nephew Kingston.
They got their I Spy quilts in the mail last week from their very awesome Great Aunt Sandy (that would be me!)
There are so many fun novelty fabrics available these days. Everything from bumble bees to candy corn to cupcakes and balloon dogs. Even lobsters!
I used the backing fabric to make some matching pillowcases. I love this fabric designed by Wendy Bentley for Timeless Treasures.
Paula Hughes' Over - Under Pattern came in handy again for this quilt, and I got two entirely different looks because of the background fabrics. The dark blue fabric created a woven look, but the blocks on the green background look like they're floating. Fun!
Phenyx is already playing games with his quilt and finding all kinds of fun things ---- even when he is supposed to be sleeping!
So, two well-loved boys have their I Spy quilts that I know will also be well-loved. And that makes this quilter very happy.
