Blogger's Quilt Festival

For the Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by Amy, I'm sharing the quilt I made for my son.

Amy's Creative Side

The theme for his room was stars and planets.  (Although really it is mostly just stars.) The pattern is November Stars from Delaware Quilts.

Two stars also showed up on the back.  The orange one was made on accident...it actually caused me some problems because I ran out of brown fabric for the top.  I ended up going to the fabric store several times to finally finish the quilt.

Every week my son gets his picture taken on the quilt.  (He is currently 19 weeks old.)  I'm looking forward to going back and look at him grow.
The quilt has been well used...it gets eaten and drooled on a lot.
And I used as the backdrop for a picture.  I love this picture.
