ABC Baby Boy Quilt is a Top

A surprise finish considering how my last few weeks have gone - sick and super busy.  So I am very happy.  It's going to a new baby boy and I think the look is just right.

Hmmm.  A little wavy after the pre-wash.

I was really unsure about the borders.  The orange border was already cut and in the same bag with the ABC squares that were also already cut.   It seemed like a waste to not use it as the inner border especially since the length was good.  

I auditioned almost every other color for the next border including strips of the ABC fabric also already cut.   Blue worked best and I like it even better with the green corner square.   

For me the decision making is always the most time consuming part of a project.  Sewing goes quickly after that. 

Plan A for quilting: I need to fiddle with the sewing machine I use for quilting since it was super uncooperative for another project.  I am hoping it just needed a "vacation" and now it will be fine.  Unfortunately I have lost interest in the quilt that is stuck under the uncooperative foot. 

Plan B is to borrow my sister's machine for which I have a walking foot and use that to quilt the ABC quilt.  Will probably be faster and less frustrating.  

Either way I am happy with reaching the flimsy stage on this.  Super Duper happy it was all stash and the backing will be as well!
