A friend will soon deliver her first child -- a daughter -- and this quilt is for the crib (or floor or car). I had exactly one month to finish for the shower in April, but I hadn't finished quilting, so I gave Mommy-to-be this photo. The shower was a month ago, and the baby is due in three weeks.
Now, all the quilting is done; I just have to finish tying in the thread tails (maybe 50 to go?) and add the binding.
The yellow, green, and blue squares are from a layer cake (40 10" squares, precut), and the reddish pink is scrap fabric that I have used many, many times. The flower applique is from a book called Flowering Quilts: 16 Charming Folk Art Projects to Decorate Your Home by Kim Schaefer. I enlarged the pattern, then fused the applique to the quilt and edge stitched around the entire flower.
