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. :)
Looks wonderful! Cuddly is a good thing for a baby quilt.
