This one I quilted myself. It is done in diagonal lines through the darker patches of the four-patch blocks. I originally started marking it on the diagonal through all the blocks of the four-patch, but I decided that was too much quilting for a baby quilt. I like to keep them soft.
It is also machine bound, which I don't normally do. I attached the binding strips to the back instead of the front and turned it toward the front. I did a zigzag stitch on the top to hold the binding in place. It's not my preferred way of binding a quilt and not my favorite aesthetic either, but I don't hate it, so that's something.
Again, I finished this quilt last month (just 10 days from when I started it), and I'm just now getting around to posting about it. This year has been very hectic - two trips to Washington State, one trip to New Jersey, several trips to Dothan for doctor visits, my son's graduation in Tuscaloosa, and most recently my husband's surgery last week. I hope that the second half of the year is less eventful!
