Megan's Baby Quilt

So here is the progress on Meg's baby quilt! Since she is waiting till the little turkey arrives to know the sex of the baby, I went with a butter & sunny yellow and a pale green backing felt to coordinate with the baby duck and baby frog "little friends" print cotton, and there's a coordinating satin edging too. My granny used to have me make a zillion yo-yo circles for her quilts, and I really love the look of these quilts when they're finished. They're completely made by hand, so they're so time consuming - but there is literally love in each stitch. I need 120 yo-yo's for this blanket, and so far I have half. Today will create the other half, and hopefully begin to lay out the stripe pattern and sew them together, then tomorrow will be backing the quilt and edging, pressing and such. So for now, enjoy the progress!
