[A baby quilt]

Thanks all.  I put the quilt together last fall at a quilt retreat (I made 2 tops at the same time) as I knew of one baby quilt I was going to need. Then I found out about this little one coming so finished this one with the border fabric and got it quilted pretty simply.  It did go together pretty fast. I have another one using this pattern to be made with batiks and black sashing.  It may end up on my bed!

This small quilt is a gift for a new mom to be's baby shower next weekend. I've known this lady for about 25 years since she was about 12. It took her a long time to meet Mr Right and now they are expecting their first - a little boy. This pattern is a MSQC and is in the tutorials. 2 charm packs used with poly blend batt and glide threads.

[Serger question]

Hi Linda - I didn't have a serger but I do have a Riccar DM. I love it. Very heavy duty for back in the days when I had a business making drapes. I could go through 16 thicknesses of fabric with it and I had to go slow, but with a #18 needle (aka nail) I could bar tack those pleats in place like nobody's business. I still use it as it has a size L bobbin like our APQS and I use it as my bobbin winder. If they make as good of a serger as they did a DM, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
