Baby, baby

Since I dismally failed to complete my challenge, I should by rights be trying to finish off the two quilts which just need quilting. But then, my attention span has never been very long, so I've started another project! A work colleague's daughter has been expecting a baby. I didn't make her a quilt, as she is a beginner quilter herself, and her first (and only) project has been a cot quilt. But then, a friend said those wise words, 'You can never have too many quilts,' which is of course one of the fundamental truths of the world, and I thought that maybe I'd make something. Then on Tuesday, the baby, Joshua, was born! I had to get a move on. Luckily I had a feathered star block in my UFO box, so added a couple of borders, and it should be ready to give next week.
Here it is under the machine getting a bit of in the ditch quilting. I'll probably quilt meander with stars on the border and I'm sure it'll be appreciated.

It looks gorgeous Lynda - I'm sure it will be very well received.

Looks wonderful and your borders set off of the feathered star perfectly!

Look, if you fail at something, you shouldn't punish yourself by doing something you "ought" to do. You have earned the right to do what pleases you the MOST, to make you feel GOOD. Learn the lesson if you must, but MOVE ON...

Beautiful star!

Good heavens, to give away a feathered star? What a generous gift and one that will be appreciated since you say that the mother quilts.

Looks beautiful.
You have completed some of the projects on your list, why shouldn't you reward yourself with something different?
