Tuh-Duh!

Yay!  I'm so excited about this finish!  I even have 3 days to spare until the baby shower.  The pattern is Marmalade Squares (Two!).  This is a complete change of topic, but I was amazed at how much glare the snow produced in these pictures even after taking the pictures in the shade without a flash.
 I did rather wide lines (3.5" apart) for the basic quilting.  I like my quilting to be sparse on baby quilts - I prefer cuddly to decorated, but that's just my own personal thoughts on the matter.  Having said that, I couldn't resist one fun design in the squares.  I quilted Heart Ripples which is essentially just echoed hearts with stipling in between them.  I faded out the color in the picture so you could see the quilting a bit better:
I used the rest of my strips for the back of the quilt.  I like that the front and back coordinate. It's my matchy matchy nerdy tendency coming out.  :)
