This quilt was created using the pattern "Quilt Interrupted" from "Phenomenal fat quarter quilts" by M'Liss Rae Hawley. I would absolutely recommend this book for useful guidelines and ideas for all the fat quarters that quilters tend to collect.
The back of the quilt better details the quilting decision I made. You can see on the front the use of the black fabric as a lattice and I simply didn't want to sew straight lines across it so there was more stopping and starting in this one.
This quilt was started when my friend became pregnant with her second baby. What no one could have anticipated was Frank passing away 22 weeks into the pregnancy. Despite how emotional it was; I was actually more motivated to complete this quilt in a timely manner for both him and his family.
Sweet boy, this quilt is for your loving family and in your memory.
Finally completed a quilt so I could try it with the old-time photo converter. Very fun. :)
I have to admire the woman that put this kit together with donated fabric because she brought together lot of different fabric that I wouldn't have thought to combine. The stars stood out very nicely once the entire quilt was complete.
Now, the ruffled dress was knitted using Dalegarn Svale yarn purchased at Cultured Purls in Issaquah. The pattern is called "ruffled dress" from the book Baby Knits by Lois Daykin. This pattern and I didn't get along so well; which is interesting since the other pattern I made from this book was very clear. 
Nice sandy sediment (notice the pretty second growth in the background). I didn't take a photo of it; but part of where the river undercut the road actually exposed very old original road built on old growth timber.
