One less UFO

Got one finished! This is for Michael's boss, Cathy. She's expecting and due next month. She's having a boy. I had some cute green/frog squares I had scored on ebay, so I made one of my quick charm square quilts.





























I tried a binding that was new to me. It's just a simple set of strips cut on the bias, which creates a sort of spiral look to the binding. I had not done one of those before, and it was fun to try. In retrospect, I think I needed greater contrast in order for the binding to be more obvious.














But still, its done, and ready for little Baby Mitchell!

















I made a card to go with it, and Michael will be taking it to her tomorrow, because she's really not sure she's going to be at work much longer! I remember those days, when being pregnant went past having a "cute belly bump" and suddenly became just plain uncomfortable! We're hoping she has a smooth delivery and a healthy baby boy!!
