Quilt for Marine Corps Baby

005

I made this quilt for my friend's baby back in the summer. She had a baby shower while I was on vacation with my family so I was unable to attend. I wanted to give it to her in person, and that didn't happen until TODAY!

I drove out to see her and her cute little guy (who is 5 months old now), have lunch and give her the quilt. I was a bit nervous of what she would think about it, but she seemed to really like it. Her husband serves in the Marine Corps so when I saw the cute camo fabric with animal shapes, and the Jeep fabric at my LQS I thought it would make a great quilt for their baby.

Her little guy is sooo cute, I enjoyed getting to hold him while we visited. I'm so glad the quilt is finally where it belongs!

Your quilting is lovely, a great keepsake for your friend. It is so much nicer to give a gift in person.

How could she not love that quilt. It is so cute, great colors, plus it has meaning being from you and centered around the military. You are such a thoughtful friend!
