The Baby Quilt

So, this is the quilt top for Katy's new baby. I'm taking the chance that she won't see it but, she might. I'm so proud of it though and I love it so much that I don't really care. She'll love it just the same having seen it before or not. I have no idea if the baby is a boy or a girl and yes I realize that this quilt sort of leans to the boy side but I don't care. I loved Paddington Bear as a child and would have loved this quilt just the same even though it isn't pink and doesn't have an inch of frilly anywhere in it.

I think I'm going to try hand quilting it. The piecing went together much quicker than I anticpated and I have the time to work on it through next month. I could take it and have it done by machine but the cost of that would double what I've already spent. Hand quilting it will be time consuming but, it's not like I have much else to do when I get home from work.
