Quilting

I have recently started quilting a bit.  I made this first blanket for my wonderful friend Jessica, who's having a baby girl about a month after I'm due.  I finished it off with a brown binding (and then forgot to take pics).  I like it :)  It was a fun one to make.  I used old receiving blankets (that I don't think I even used) from when Ani was a baby.

 This one is for some friends of ours from Florida, having their 5th baby, and first girl!  I love how it turned out, especially with the blue satin binding.  It's non-traditional girl colors are so cute!

 This one is for my sister Laura's baby.  I made it out of receiving blankets.  It turned out so soft and cuddly.  I'm so glad I could learn how to quilt a little bit :)
