There are 4 main fabrics: 2 white backgrounds with critters and an orange and a green. The border has jungle animal names. 

Quilted free motion meander

A strip of fabric to widen the back. His scrap came from my nieces fabrics she used in photographing her first child every month of her first year. 

Patty lifted this quilt for her friend Karen's grandchild. 

Sweet Baby Girl Snail Trail

 This is a labor intense (cut, piece, trim, piece trim, piece, trim!) Block but so PRETTY! 

I made it for my friend and the medical director of the NICU I worked in for 23 of my 30 year career. It is for his first grandchild. I don't know his daughter (I remember when SHE was born! Ay ay ay!) But Dr Mo is a wise mentor and leader and a genuinely nice man. 

I left space on the back for the baby's name, birthdate, and weight. Sweet hearts on the back. Free motion quilted in a lazy meander. 

A collection of mostly pale pinks with a few farmers for variety contrast nicely with a floral white on white. 

Some pink and red skulls in the border and a clean white binding complete this quilt! 

Snail's Trail Quilt in Solids

From a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilts, this one was real easy to make.  I have made the design before, but over at Missouri Star, they have great new techniques that really make the pattern building easy and fun!

The pattern was made with charms, the background a bright Kona white.  I decided to add a sashing to make it stand out more.

Nice, lap sized quilt!

Sold to Debbie H for her sisters grand baby
