“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Finished baby quilt for Victoria Grace

The baby quilt was finished just in time for this morning's gifting.  I was on information desk duty at Church, so I got to give it to Cheryl.  This will be her first grandbaby, and it's a girl, to be named "Victoria Grace".   I've already 'heard' someone in the family referring to the baby as 'Tori', and I just love that name !
 Anyway, the quilt finished up around 40 inches square.  These triangles were in one of the boxes of scraps that Jodie Ann sent me this Winter to keep my mind distracted from hubby's illness.  She's an angel of a friend.  And the purple fabric on the back was from a big 2 yard piece that was in another box from her.
The white background fabric is from Connecting Threads.  I used the Pellon 80/20 cotton/poly batting that I bought on a 30 yard roll from Walmart.

My backs are all starting to look the same as I piece stripes down the center to make fabric wide enough.  Still, I prefer that look to just using one fabric.
