First blog post, first 2012 finish

I'm on a strict fabric diet leading up to the March 16 BMQG retreat, which will feature a fabric shop hop en route to Maine.

I'm in the midst of several large scrap-centric quilts, but here's my first finish of the year:  a baby quilt for a friend from work who's having a little girl in early April.   I used Monet's awesome tutorial for the blocks, and quilted in a V-formation, to mimic the 8 wedges in the center "web".   Will post the back once I can get the sunlight (and a helper) to cooperate for longer than 4 minutes. :)
