Cate's Quilt

 Baby Cate has a new quilt, and this one is staying at Grandma Jayne's house. 

Last Saturday, our daughters, granddaughter and son-in-law were here for a day of Christmas celebrating. One of our gifts to Cate was the pink single Irish Chain quilt that I recently finished up.

Erin immediately spread it out on the floor for Cate to have some time to stretch. 

Here's a full picture of the quilt, from a few weeks ago when I was finishing off the binding.

It's the sweetest little quilt. Perfectly simple in its 9-patch design. Nothing showy in its composition - just two-color blocks placed on point with setting triangles of the darker color serving as a border. Here's a post about binding the quilt. Here's a post about making the quilt - clear back in August.

Baby Cate has two granny-made quilts at her house, and now one here at ours. Finished quilts. In various stages of completion and possibly more than a few incubating in my head are several more. She will definitely not go wanting for a quilt.

Now for a weather update - the snow started last night about 10pm.Windy and absolutely frigid this morning:  -8 degrees,  25 mph winds; feels like -35. Those were the numbers when I checked at around 8am. I didn't go out to measure, but it looks like we have around 4 inches of snow. 

I am grateful for a warm house with electricity and internet, a full fridge AND a sewing machine upstairs waiting on me!

Perfect quilting weather, don't you think?

Happy Quilting, Friends!
