Quilt WIPS (Works in Progress)

 I bought this kit while on vacation two years ago at Mare's Bears Quilt Shop, a great place in Lewes, Delaware.

As it was a beach vacation, I bought this as my souvenir of our trip. 

What's really kind of funny is that the kit is produced closer to home at The Quilt Company, a shop I visit when I head over to visit friend Juliann, minutes away.

I am finally getting beyond the octagonals that make up the main part of the quilt.

Soon I hope to post the completed top.

Really close.

Have to tackle those mitred corners!

This little scrap quilt went together very quickly, is basted already, and waiting for me to try machine quilting on my new machine. It will be a gift for a wee little one born two weeks ago - Abigail Sage. I made a traditional styled quilt so that if it lasts through burps and dirt, it might be a lap quilt as she gets older.
