First finish for 2015!!

Hugs and kisses

This quilt is for a friend of mine's first grandchild :) Due date was yesterday so any minute now!
So glad I've finished it on time.

I always struggle to make boy/man's quilt. It's gonna be a boy and I hope this quilt is bay-boy enough quilt.

Quilt Size: 49" x 49"
Fabrics: 5" squares scraps (with 2 1/2" corner triangles)
Block size: 9 1/2" square unfinished
FMQ by me on my 750 QE Bernina

And one big hug on the back!


Waiting for baby's name so I can make the label :)

  10. Can you tell me how you put a quilt label on after it's quilted and bound? I have been struggling with that for a long time now, thinking that it would end up coming off because it wasn't quilted in with the quilting. Thanks.
