Baby quilts

A little girl that hubby and I have known for about 18 years (since she was in kindergarten with our youngest son) had a little baby boy recently.  I made her a really cute and easy pinwheel quilt.  I chose bright colours because that is the kind of person she is.  Bright and sassy!
I've also finished a little pink quilt that I started last year.  I saw this technique of sewing 4 strips together and then cutting them apart and inserting a strip into it on the Quilt Show site.

Won a basket

Back in April, my hubby took me out to the Boundary Bay Quilt guild show in Ladner.  They had a great show, lots of talent.  My hubby met up with an old buddy who's wife was also a quilter so he had some one to talk to while I was wandering around the show.  They had a raffle quilt basket and I won it.  It contained fabric, patterns, books, thread, rulers and all sorts of other fun things.
