Sew Jennifer Sew

I have completed my first official baby quilt. It is all packed up and ready to send to Guam. To my Air Force brother and his wife and their new baby-my only nephew! After 6 nieces and 2 daughters, it will be wonderful for my son to have another boy in the immediate family, although my cousins have lots of little boys his age.
I used a free "broken dishes" pattern that I found online. I quilted by stitching in the ditch diagonally. The reverse is an Americana print with John Deere tractors on it-quite appropriate for my country bumpkin brother living on the other side of the world!
I'm sure the blanket won't get used very often since it is perpetually 85 degrees there, but I hope they appreciate the time and thought I put into this quilt. Welcome to the world RaiTano!
