Due date moved up

Erin called yesterday after a visit to her doctor, and little Max may arrive early. She is to avoid strenuous activity and stay hydrated and hope that Max will wait 2 more weeks.

This sent me into a speeded up time schedule, and I worked on the baby quilt until one this morning.

Came home this afternoon and finished up the binding. Still need to make a label, but think I'll wait until the little fellow is born and add it then. These pictures are after washing the quilt...because I like the wrinkled look and because it will no doubt be washed an awful lot in service to a baby. I had a lot of fun with the quilting and want to do the hand quilting again.

    I love the simplicity of the design, & how it allows the quilting design to show. Very nice.

    Your quilt is simply beautiful. I love how the design allows the quilting to really show.
    If I make a quilt to be used and loved, I don't feel like it is "finished" until I wash it and see the wrinkles. Jen

    Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. This quilt (like the one for Mila) has been a labor of love, whatever it lacks in skill. I love knowing that others are as comforted by the "wrinkled" look as I am. :)

    The wrinkled look says handmade to me, I love it. I love the simple design. Your photography as usual is so beautiful. I so want a really good digital camera.
