NYE 2011 Mystery

I participated in the 2011 NYE Mystery this year. I've done these before and enjoy the challenge , procedure of following the hour by hour directions and seeing the final setting of all the parts. I chose to make the baby/crib size. That's an easy size to complete and also I hoped to be able to use it for a baby gift. I needed one for my friend Sam.

I used a small fleece blanket for the back, no batting as it's not needed with the fleece and machine quilted, ending by turning the fleece to the top, using a decorative stitch all around the quilt's edge and then trimming off the extra fleece. This is an easy way to finish a baby quilt and the fleece makes a very soft, cuddly quilt.

After the quilt was all done, I found out that Sam was doing the baby's room in red and white. With the red in this quilt, it would go nicely and so she has received it and has it waiting for baby's arrival.
