noah

My good friend and college roommate, Jen, recently had her 6th baby. 6! It's hard to believe our Helaman Halls days were 17 years ago and now we have kids who will be in college in 7 or 8 years. Yikes. She is a cute and fun mom who is always on a new adventure with her kids. I wish I was more like her. For Jen's cute baby, Noah, I decided to try something new. Chevrons. I was somewhat nervous - all triangles, all solids, no room for mistakes.
I have to say I fell in love with this quilt. The zig zag quilting is not exact by any means. It's all eye-balled. And I think I like it even more because of the imperfections.
I showed this to another friend and she thought the back was a flag. It's not. But I like that idea.
Jen, I hope you don't read this before it arrives on your doorstep today. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but I can't wait any longer. You do have 6 kids. I am banking on the fact that you cannot possibly have time to check blogs every single day. Then again, I know you better than that.
Happy cuddling baby Noah.
