The Planets Align ;D

An old picture of my baby and Thumps the bunny.  I LOVE this picture!
 I decided to make a quilt for my baby today.  His baby blanket is torn and tattered:(    Time to clean it and put it away for posterity..  So, for the new one, I pieced the strips of left over minky from other quilts to make the back and then just used the planet fabric I bought him last week for Star Wars Day.  Click HERE for the post.  I tried my hand at a cobblestone fmq and I am pretty happy with how it turned out.  I used Sulky transparent thread.  I think I prefer the Sulky to the other brand I used on Ford's quilt.  It's the German one that starts with a "G."  It seems softer and finer.  Here are the pictures.  Now, just to warn you, there are WAY too many pictures.  My baby is the model and is just so cute, I couldn't cut any of them from the spread ;)  Just as a tease, here is a picture of him when he was just learning to walk.



That kid is SO spoiled!  Anyhoots, here is the quilt without further ado :)
Lying on the bridge over the creek.

A view from the other side of the creek ;)

Minky all cobbled up :)

The cute planets.  I am so glad that I bought this fabric.

Wasn't sure I'd like the binding, but I LOVE it!  It's from the Dr. Suess line.

So much cheese! 

"Smile normal!"

"Who's your girlfriend?"

Say, "Emire"

"Fine!  Just smile!!"

"Hey, Mom!  There is a BUG!!!"
