New Baby Blanket

 
Our family is expecting some new little ones this year.  This is the first of the baby quilts that I am going to make.  It is flannel and an older line from Moda that I love.  I bought quite a bit of it when it came out and have made a few things with it.  I had my friend Cindy Denkers machine quilt it. She quilted it with all sorts of animals.  It is so cute!  I am excited to see how the recipients like it.  I hope the other quilts turn out too! This was made with the charm packs, so I just had to sew them together!  I didn't notice until it was quilted that I had two of the same prints together. I must have turned my blocks when I sewed them.  Chalk it up to trying to hurry and finish!  Oh, well...it is what it is!
