Here is the quilt, (from the book, "Quilts from the Quiltmaker's Gift"),that I made for my youngest daughter. She was born on March 15th, 2002, and I finally finished it on April 18, 2002. Not too bad, considering I was on bed rest for the last two weeks of the pregnancy. I had the top completed before being put on bed rest, and was able to finish it after coming home from the hospital. I worked on it during the girls naps, when I was lucky enough for them to nap at the same time.I machine quilted it. First, I quilted in the ditch, then quilted a heart in the middle of each square. The outer border has a heart and diamond motif. I'm not very good at free-motion quilting yet, but I had a good time doing it and I'm looking forward to the next one.
