Wendy will be here soon!!!

My youngest daughter is expecting her first baby in just a short 6 weeks! This little one will be our 9th grandbaby. I have managed to get a quilt done for each of them so far, but I sure was getting worried this time. So much LIFe has happened in the past few months that it kept getting pushed to the side.

It's finally finished-except for the label-tomorrows job- and I am so relieved!

The Umbrella girl squares are old- I pieced them about 10 years ago. I never did finish the project but I loved the design so much that I pinned the squares up in my sewing room.

Sara always commented on them and loved the clouds in the background- it was a natural choice when I knew she was going to have a girl!I was especially sure once she told me the name she & Chris had chosen-WENDY.

I couldn't match that cloud fabric for more squares so I had to improvise.

The border fabric kinda suggests a little wind-and just in case that wasn't enough a added a little whimsical cloud to one corner . All the quilting in freehand swirls for the same reason-to add "movement" to the quilt.
