With so many details in the camping fabrics (front and back are equally interesting), along with the fishes, baby's eyes will have a lot to look at. Excellent choices! Using a beautiful printed fabric is a effective way of making a baby quilt. And for a first quilt, it was done beautifully, even with the sprawling over the table (I also do that sometimes).France Nadeau ❅ inspiration imagination creationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984624117899878826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109527732253977468.post-12831652332369193492015-05-17T02:31:48.330-04:002015-05-17T02:31:48.330-04:00Congratulations to Alina!

First, your daughter's first quilt is absolutely adorable and I laughed out loud when I saw the picture of her with her arm all the way out on the quilt - I have so been there done that!!! And congrats to Alina! What an awesome accomplishment!! And to have a job waiting for her - a true testament to her talents and skills! I worked as a paralegal for 20 years - being able to go directly into such a wonderful position after graduation is truly awesome! AND, OMG! My #1 fan lives in Winston-Salem!! I literally squealed when I read where she is graduating from! :D Judy@Quilt Paradigmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853567189199120222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109527732253977468.post-66059022800854364902015-05-16T19:02:57.734-04:002015-05-16T19:02:57.734-04:00What a sweet friendship they have!What a sweet friendship they have!Missy Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209549470700130606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109527732253977468.post-39647148673228101382015-05-16T15:46:39.786-04:002015-05-16T15:46:39.786-04:00Best wishes to your daughter as she enters this ne...Best wishes to your daughter as she enters this new phase in her career!

I can see a little one pushing cars, boats and action figures around on this quilt. She did a great job. <br />If I need a baby quilt FAST, I look for a panel to sandwich with some batting and a contrasting piece of backing. After quilting it all over with a loose free motion meander followed with some colorful binding, it's ready for gifting.

That quilt is so special, and what a story to go with it, from their original friendship to the birth of a child miles apart physically but sharing it through Skype...my heart goes out to Misha. My congrats and wow! you go girl, go out to Alina on a job very well done. (ha I meant on her graduation from Law school, but it could also be on making such an adorable quilt) Exciting that they'll be closer to you now, right?
