Quilt #2 -- First quilt for a baby boy!



So, after finishing one quilt, I wanted to see if I could do another.  I had the perfect recipient in mind.  His arrival date was off in the future yet.   I kept the pattern the same as the first.  Just new colors(blue and green instead of pink and pink).  The blue actually had planes, trains, and automobiles on it.  And I became OCD and made them always run the same direction on the whole quilt.  So that was the added challenge on this one.  


One of the initial layouts.  Just squares and a possible border


On the quilting frame!
