A baby quilt for Linsey

 A few years ago my friend, Janine, and I were down in Southern Utah and stopped at a quilt store (big surprise!) and Janine purchased a quilt kit for a cute little baby girl quilt.  It sat on her shelf for a couple of years or more.  Then she gave it to me thinking I would get around to it quickly.  Not the case.
So today, probably 3 years later, I pulled it out and started cutting, sewing and pressing.  A couple of hours later I have this baby buggy quilt flimsy ready  to go to the quilter!  It went together quickly until I got to the outside border.  If I would have cut it the way they said it would end up with baby buggies going sideways.   Now I just can't do that so I matched and pinned and sewed until hopefully it isn't too noticeable that the borders are pieced so that all the buggies are right side up.  I think Janine will be surprised that a kit she purchased several years ago will end up for her next little granddaughter.......due in a few weeks.

Happy Quilting!                   Lynda
