Baby Quilt for a Colleague

Baby Quilt for a Colleague - I made the top at our guild's quilt camp weekend, my first since joining the guild (not my last, for sure). Being one of those who usually ends up doing things the hard way, I wasn't satisfied with a typical nine-patch layout. Fidgeting with the color placement took far longer than I intended, but I think it adds interest. My roommate for the weekend found the perfect border and backing fabric at the area's local quilt shop. I was so excited and grabbing bolts of fabric at this new-for-me shop, I would have missed this perfect fabric just a foot or so away from me! After my fabulous first time at quilt camp, I got to practice my free motion quilting. The "mindful meandering" quilting design in the borders was from the book of the same name by Laura Lee Fritz. Unfortunately, I had saved and cropped a picture of the just the ducks from the internet without having gotten any information about them. Therefore, I have no idea who designed them. I'm sorry for the lack of credit to whomever you are!!! If anyone knows, please let me know, so I can properly credit this person.
