Baby Girls!

My sister is pregnant and expecting a baby girl!

In the summer of 2012 my husband, son, daughter, and I did a great american road trip. We started in Cleveland and stopped in Dayton, Nashville, St. Louis, and Kansas City. However, on the way from Nashville, TN to St. Louis, MO you pass Paducah, KY, and what quilter could drive by without making a stop in Hancock's of Paducah's fabric store? Certainly not me, and I found this darling fabric called Ooh La La from Bunny Hill Designs. I thought it would be perfect for my sister should she have another baby and if it was a girl.

Fast forward a year and that girl baby who already had quilt fabric is on her way! My mom was heading down to Kansas City and she decided that she'd get a move on getting the quilt together, so I stopped by on Sunday the 12th to help cut the panel squares, and develop the pattern, and Mom and Grandma worked to get the blocks together, she gave me the top to baste and quilt, which I did on Wednesday and then returned to her on Thursday for the Grandma's to hand stitch the binding down and for Mom to deliver to Kansas City on Saturday in time for Rebecca's baby sprinkle. I know it's not entirely my own work, but I'm still counting it as my first finish of 2014!
