Flower Baby Quilt

This month's theme for the baby quilt group is "flowers."  It's pretty hard to see, but I embroidered lots of flowers then did connecting free motion.  It was very disappointing, not what I had in mind.


Then, when I was putting on binding, fussing I might cut up the quilt for smaller things, I snagged my finger on a pin and smeared some blood spots before I realized what was happening.  Into the washer and dryer it went, and there was just enough shrinkage in the batting to draw up all that stitching and the resulting look was more like what I wanted.


I want to try this again, I think it can be extremely nice, but this one is ok.  No cutting it up.  I'd be happy to have my baby on it.
