When it came down to it, she just couldn't wait to find out. So the first oppurtunity she got she found out she was having a girl. Maybe that is a good thing because I think this quilt is a little girly. It is my own design. I found this large rickrack and thought it would look adorable stitched to sollid strips of solids. On the white strips I stitched down the two different sizes of yoyos. I love to hand quilt, so I used coordinating colors of perle cotton to stitch around the yoyos and white perle cotton to stitch on the colored strips.
I love this fabric I used for the backing. It is some I have had in my stash for quite some time. I needed the perfect baby quilt for this fabric and I think this is it.
Baby Lucy will be joining our family in August and I hope she gets lots of use out of this sweet, baby quilt.

So beautiful! Congrats!
Fabulous quilt, Sandy. love the use of rick rack and those yo yos are amazing. Lucky baby!
I love seeing new designs--and yours is so inventive and wonderfully full of life and energy. That new baby will love laying on this quilt, and as she grows older, will love knowing it came from her grandma. Beautiful!
