Hello! I'm just back from an impromptu trip to Mallorca with my girlfriends and I'm feeling burnt but great! We decided that with 1 girlfriend moving back to the US in 2 weeks and my big 44th birthday approaching, a celebration was in order! The night before we left though, we celebrated a new baby coming this month! The new mommy is a FedEx pilot colleague of my husband's and a very good new friend to me! I have been working on this modern flying geese quilt since May and was happy to finish a whopping 2 days before the shower! It's quilted in a wavy grid pattern.

| The top after a wash & crinkle |
 |
| The back - a tag with the baby's name and dates will be added after he's born |
 |
| Binding is a combo of the 2 striped FQs in the Saltwater bundle |
A friend recently shared
this cool pattern for baby bibs and I think I'm addicted! Amy even linked us to her
gallery of bibs - so fun! I pulled out a huge pile of fabrics and got busy.

| Quilted bibs with pockets from a Moda Lollipop charm pack. |
 |
| A necktie, a bicycle with large pocket and a linen & gingham bib. |
 |
| A nod to our weekly movie club - the pocket is supposed to look like a tub of popcorn |
 |
| I found this site and I think I will always buy baby gifts there - hilarious bib and how perfect is that onesie?! |
 |
| Added some flair to Ikea washcloths |
 |
| The final package wrapped in a great basket that can be used later for a diaper/wipe station! |
Quilt stats:
Size - 56" x 56" (hopefully enough room for mommy/baby snuggles)
Fabric - Kona Charcoal & Kona Steel with Saltwater by Tula Pink
Thread - Pieced with Aurifil #2605 & quilted with the same thread on top and #2630 in the bobbin.
The result? She loved all her goodies! Here's a sneak peek at the baby's nook
And there we have my 1st finish of Q3! FMT
