I've been working on a baby quilt for my neighbor, Helen, to give to one of her work friends. She keeps me busy with baby quilts - I've made 6 or 7 of them for her to give to friends. But, since I like to quilt and my children are running out of storage room, it is a good thing.
I really wasn't sure about this quilt. The mother wanted white, black and gold as the colors. Didn't sound very baby to me. I was really thinking it was ugly ... but now that it is all put together it has grown on me. There is supposed to be giant black rickrack on the narrow top and bottom border - that may or may not happen. I really like the pop of color the balloons add. And I was pleased with the result of the stitched strings.
Now I just have to figure out the back and get it quilted - my least favorite part of quilting! But I have a July deadline on this one so it will get done!
