Babies Have Arrived and Quilts Delivered

Lily arrived the day after the last post.  I quickly finished the "Sunny Days" quilt for my friend's baby who was born two days earlier. It was a good thing to do between hospital visits since it just needed to be ragged.  That means several hours of making snips around all the edges. 

 

 

Then a wash with just a little Dreft in the machine--and a second rinse.  Into the dryer. Be sure to empty the lint trap often since you'll be "ragging" the quilt and that will create quite a lot of lint!  I rinsed both Lily's and Bailey's quilts together one more time. 

Then I delivered Lily's elephant themed quilt to her and packaged Bailey's monkey themed quilt to send to Atlanta.  What fun to have first granddaughters together with a dear, old friend from high school!

 

The best part of this pattern is the "windows" created by the quilting.  Lily's windows show some elepant tails and trunks (not shown here but visible in earlier posts). Bailey's windows highlight some monkey antics from a great fabric collection by Dear Stella called "Play Date".  I hope we can get these girls together sometime for a play date!
