Here's Carmen's quilt, quilted and bound and with a label too! It took me longer to quilt it than I had planned...I had to fight with my machine. I finally took it off the frame and quilted it with my Pfaff at the kitchen table. I just can't seem to get the hang of the Brother machine. I'm going to sit down with it and have a nice long chat with it. I piddled around with it for about 3 hours and quilted a little bit that I had to take out... Now, I can make a diaper storage and I'm even going to make a mug rug for her. I'm not going to call it a mug rug though...I'm going to call it a bottle rug! I had two flowers left over from the border and these will be just the thing to hold her bottles or for her Mama's tea cup or whatever! Anyway, I'll be working on those this week. The shower is this next Sunday so I'll be ready. I love not having to rush. I want to make some receiving blankets with a little bit of crochet around them before she makes her appearance. I want to make some sheets for her crib and the bumper pad too. I have another month before she's supposed to be here so I'm sure I'll get it done. For now, here's her quilt:

Beautiful. My mum was finishing Jonathan's shawl while I was in labour. As you can imagine, the last corner proved to be the most difficult to do!
Very nice!
This quilt is soooo wonderful!
Gorgeous! I love how it turned out! A bottle rug! What a great idea!
Beautiful... I love how your flower border turned out! Miss Carmen is going to love her quilt!

So pretty and I'll bet the other items will be just as delightful!
The quilt turned out so cute!! Good job!
I love your purple baby quilt! It is adorable. Purple has always been my favorite color.
