Baby Love...

Lately, lots of people I know are having babies.  I mean, TONS of family and friends are going to have new little people in their lives.  This means I get the pleasure of holding the little bundles of joy without having to also get up at 3am. For me, this is a win-win situation.

But with all these new babies come new quilts!
(also a win!) 

This green and white lovely is for my good friend Laura and the new little  man in her life.  Thank goodness she doesn't mind spoilers.

When I started this paper pieced giant hexagon quilt everyone kept asking me who it was for.  I kept saying "I have no idea".  Thankfully, my brother and sister in law decided to have a little baby girl so it would have a good home.
I figure that since it's mostly hand sewn I might as well go ahead and hand quilt it.  It was a lucky coencidence that I had almost all of the matching thread already in my possession.  Once again fate decided to step in and help out with the decreasing of the stash.
And this sad fellow?  Well, it was going to be a gift for another baby but it turned out too gawd awful to inflict on the poor child.  Do you ever have those days where you wonder "what the heck was I thinking?" .
