Made an easy quilt to give as a shower gift to a new grandma for the first baby girl in a family of lots of boys. It's the first one I've done a non-meander freehand on with the HQ16. It's the first I've done any stitch-in-ditch on anything but a domestic machine. It's the first I've used EQ Printables fabric for a label--and the first label I've sewn into the binding.

Small steps all, but ya gotta start someplace, right?

And now it's time to work on something NOT pink!

It's so cute, Heidi! And congratulations on conquering new techniques! :) Don't you just love that EQ Printables stuff? I've only just recently used any of it, and it's wonderful. :)

Well done, Heidi. I especially like your unique arrangement of borders, especially as the second one is striped fabric. That is interesting and effective. PAT

Thanks, Pat... The border was the result of a screwup--I was planning to miter them, but wasn't thinking and cut them too short. Didn't realize it until I'd sewed them on, so putting corner blocks then didn't seem like the easiest solution. But I'm willing to let folks think it was intentional
