As I was stitching the binding in place on Big Brother's quilt Saturday morning, a text chimed in from my sister.
Mommy's water had broken (four weeks early) so the parents were on their way to the hospital . . . and Miss Penelope was born early Sunday morning.
Dot to Dot, the quilt for her big brother, measures 48" x 64"
Quilted with Glide thread in Nickel using rows of my liberated Baptist Fans.
I love these colorful iguanas on the cheddar backing.
The black and white binding is Michael Miller Clown Stripe, one of my favorites for multi-color rainbow quilts.
I hope Big Brother loves this scrappy polka dot quilt as much as I do!

Later today I will be shipping all three freshly-laundered quilts (Dot to Dot, Penelope Rose, and Winsome) to their new forever homes in Michigan.

The black/white centers make the scrappy colors soar! "Iguana on Cheddar"--LOL.
That quilt should certainly make the big brother happy. Dots are so timeless and I think everyone loves them.
I chuckled when I looked closely and spied the Blah, blah, blah fabric. I have some of that, too. I like the look of the b&w centers for the rainbow blocks. Somehow it livens up the whole thing.
