I cannot believe that I finally finished my OMG in time to  post!

This baby quilt has a bit of a story behind it.  I guess all quilts do. Right?

Last July I went to a grand opening of a new fabric shop in Wiesbaden, Germany. I met the owner and she is a lovely person. Of course, there was a slight language barrier, mostly on my part, but I still loved walking through her store and when I saw this foxy fabric, I just had to buy some, in meters, of course!

I am so glad I get to link up with Patty at Elm Street Quilts OMG and all the others who have managed to meet their goals this month.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS QUILT

I used Karen Vail's pattern in the Moda Bake Shop.
Click HERE for the link to the pattern.
Karen's pattern says it will work for any size square as long as the two large squares are the same size.  Since I had yardage and only 4 fabrics for this quilt, I made my two big squares with 7 across and 7 down.  I was surprised to see the layout after I cut the squares diagonally and sewed them back together.  It looks like I planned it, but I didn't. 
My quilt turned out to be 45" square.
I made it for our new 2 month old neighbor across the street and I am told by her parents that she is already enjoying it!

February OMG - a few days late!

OMG February - almost!

It only took me a week to quilt it but I just couldn't get the binding finished in time!

This was a 2016 Saturday Sampler quilt from my LQS. The pattern is "Seeing Stars" by Tricia Cribs of Turning Twenty.

This is a large quilt.  Long anyway.  76" x 96"

I was determined to quilt the whole quilt from Angela Walters' Free Motion Quilting Challenge Week 2.  The entire quilt is quilted with meander or echoing.  I am really pleased with how it looked.  I learned a lot from this exercise.

Echoing
At first, I looked at these pinwheels and panicked not knowing how to quilt them.  Then I looked at them again and saw that they were in a square so I echoed the square!  I really like how it turned out.

March OMG

March OMG

This is a baby quilt that I really need to finish!

Just need to quilt and bind it.  

I was just three sides of my binding making the January and February OMGs.  I hope that surely I can make this one since it is so small, about 45" square.

I am linking up with Patty at Elm Street Quilts.
