Waiting for Baby!

I'm expecting another grandbaby in late June.  I have had their quilt stored safely in my linen closet since 2017 and was excited to finally give it to them!

I have many more quilts here for them and many more quilts planned, but this was THE ONE!  It's made with organic cotton and is gender-neutral and was perfect for the shower.

Is it wrong that I'm pleased that the party-goers clapped when my DIL opened the quilt?  Because I am.

The pattern is Jack's Star, a Cutie Pattern I designed and named after my late father.  It's a great quilt to show off larger prints on fabrics.  The next Jack's Star quilt I make will use My Little Sunshine fabric.

Isn't that fabric adorable?

Like all Cutie Patterns, this quilt starts with 16 fat-eighths and adds background, borders, or other fabrics.  Jack's Star is so versatile because it doesn't require any border yardage.  A simple pack of fat eighths (or fat quarters cut in half) will do the job!

Maybe when I make this next quilt, I'll get another grandbaby?  If only it worked that way!
