Baby Boy ABC Quilt is Finished

I thought and thought about how to quilt this and what color thread.

A windy day

I borrowed my sister's machine because I have a walking foot for it.  So I was thinking of straight line quilting.  I went with red thread since the backing is red and it is so colorful on the front. 

Straight lines on both sides of all the blocks

I quilted straight lines in the center and diagonal lines in the borders.  The red thread worked out well I think.  

Diagonals in the borders

Spring Vacation gave me a full day to sew uninterrupted.  Got the quilting done and then binding. 

The back shows the quilting details really well.

Because there is so much red fabric I washed it yet again with a Color Catcher. I was surprised at how much color came out again even though both front and back had already been washed.

There was just a bit of the ABC flannel left so I made a burp cloth also.

I am please with how it turned out and glad that I tried something new.  The client is happy and that's really the important part.
