off to the quilter

Despite the crazy driving day of yesterday- I sent this off to the quilter! It's a baby blanket for my soon to be grandson. The edges & some of the squares are minky soft fabric. The back will be the blue minky soft dots. Minky soft is a pain in the neck to sew with- pins every 1/2 inch- but so so soft & worth it for this baby.
I cannot wait to get it back, bound, & off to Megan's new crib...
to wait-
for him.

    That is one lucky boy to have such a talented Grandmother! It is absolutely beautiful! I love that soft material that you are using for the back. I really need a blanket made out of that stuff!

    Wow Patsy, you are a quilt making maniac. How many have you made just this summer? I am impressed, and I think that will be one lucky baby to have you for a grandma.
