I was asked to make a new baby quilt for a Great Grandchild (We are getting to that age!) for the baby of the church's choir director. She expressly asked for the "same quilt" I made for Dawn including the border fabric... a road map in neutral colors. This is the quilt Virginia fell in love with:

The request was similar colors, not "baby colors" for a boy arriving in December. Okay!
I used a basic 2“ geese; Cut body 2.5 x 4.5 and wings are 2.5" squares, snowballed on.
I went to Anaheim after searching and not finding any more of the maps in my stash.... no luck finding THAT fabric, but found something similar. And $125 of other necessities. Uh huh.
I did use some greens and blues juvenile fabrics.... cars and animals (and even a little paw patrol!) mixed with floral and geometries. No strong pinks..... still traditional like that.
A large variety of neutrals for the geese wings. Very similar sideways setting, the map border.... simple loops quilting and a swoop border. Great bright stripe binding, blue and white back..... DONE!
