Over the last few months I was slowly working on a quilt to give to my friends, Pete & Alyssa. They will be having their first child later on this month. Last weekend we threw a baby shower for Alyssa and I was finally able to hand over the quilt. To make sure I didn't slack off on completing this project, I took another quilting class at Sew to Speak with Mary. During the first class Mary showed us how to make a few different designs we could use for our quilts (log cabin, wonky corners & a star one) then from there we could pick which quilt we wanted to make. I took the wonky corners design & combined it with this quilt I saw on Pinterest, which basically ended up looking like little bow-ties. Mary gave me the suggestion to make the bow-ties different sizes. (Thanks Mary!!) Pete happens to wear bow-ties a lot, so I figured this would be the perfect pattern to make for Baby Dully. Now that I no longer need to keep this project a secret, here are some of the pictures I took along the way.

And here's a link to check out the other quilts that were made in the quilting class I took.
