A finish-Sweet Darling baby quilt

Last Monday, I put the binding on my Sweet Darling baby quilt, washed it, packed it nicely and gifted it to my friend who recently had a baby girl. 

Here are some "not great" photos. Unfortunately it was a usual, super windy Canberra autumn day and I had to take indoor photos again. 

I normally don't make gender specific quilts but with these fabrics, I couldn't imagine anything but a girly quilt. 

I really like the matching pillow. 

This is the first time that I used a decorative stitch for quilting. I first tried it on the pillow and liked the effect. I quilted the quilt in straight lines with the same stitch and framed the solid squares. It is not very visible on the quilt unless you look at it very closely. The back of the quilt shows it very well.

My friend loved the quilt and the pillow very much which made me very very happy. I forgot to take the photos of her gorgeous girl on the quilt because of so much excitement and squealing at that moment!!
