Welcome Maria: Done!

The quilt for Maria is done. Rob designed the quilting pattern and did the majority of the stitching since I have been so busy with schoolwork that, left to me, this would become a first birthday gift.

The design is esentially a star pattern inside the pink regions, with just small X's tacking down the center of each green square of the chain. I hand embroidered Maria's birthdate onto the binding before stitching that down.

And for big sis Julia, I did this little shirt with felt appliques. Yep, I'm going to be that aunt.
