Gender Unknown

I have a number of quilting projects in the works right now, but I have to be a good girl and wait until payday next week to get the batting I need for Emma's quilt and the white fabric for the kite quilt (I cut all of the other 2" squares this week).  In the meantime I have a couple of other quilts that I can start.  My trainer from my mission in Spain is having a baby, and the funny part is that her due date is only 2 days away from mine.  Of course my "momma" from the mission has a special place in my heart, so it's time she gets a quilt.  This is their 3rd baby and they have one of each, so they're waiting to find out the gender.  This presents a slight problem for me, because usually I would just wait until she has the baby to make the quilt, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be busy with a baby of my own at that point.  Uni-gender quilts are pretty hard to come up with, so I have decided to avoid this problem by just making 2 quilts -- one for a boy and one for a girl.  I know that it won't be long before the other quilt will be needed by someone else.  
 Today I put together the quilt front of the girl quilt.  (Nathan had a couple of sweet naps and my husband was engrossed by football playoffs, so I was one productive chiquita). 
 I love these fabrics.....I had to do a couple closeups, because you miss the details when you show the whole quilt.
