You Are My Sunshine

It's done and on its way to the almost new mom.

I quilted it in a sun ray motif that echoes out to the edge of the quilt.  The first one forms a sun ray shape in the center and then I repeated it three more times around the quilt.  It's easy to get lost on a round quilt when you're used to quilting squares and rectangles.  I tried to keep the quilting consistent across the quilt (about the same distance apart).  There are some areas I'm more happy with than others, but overall I think it's cute.

 And by the way...you young moms (and not so young moms) were so right about a circle being the perfect shape for a baby quilt.  It is a swaddling dream!  Even Yoda thinks so!!

Thanks to my friend Rachel who came over and shot the photos for me, and it was her brilliant idea to use Yoda for a test swaddle.  A bit much for a Jedi master, but he, like my son, was willing to forego his dignity for me.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend.  I'm heading to Kansas to celebrate Easter, my parent's anniversary, my dad's and my youngest son's birthdays and enjoy a weekend of rest and relaxation.  I have much to celebrate!
