Lemons to Lemonade - Quilt

Meredith picked out some fabric to make a very cute quilt (pattern purchased online).  I cut all the strips for her and the blocks.  She began sewing and we realized the blocks were only going to be 3" square, quite small and she would need several to make a quilt of any size.  Not giving up, Meredith kept at it and stitched some rows together but some blocks had some bias.  With the bias and small size in mind, the blocks were not matching up.  I told her not to worry about it, we would cut new strips and blocks in a much larger size.  I took the strips she had sewn together and made a baby quilt.  Now we have a very cute baby girl quilt all ready and waiting when we need a gift.

  3. What an adorable baby quilt!
    Your quilting is superb. Do you do it all by machine, or perhaps with an embroidery machine? Very impressive.
