Quilt for baby Austin

For quite some time now I have been trying to use up fabric from my stash before going out to buy lots of new material. I happened to have just enough left from making a quilt for Jared two years ago to put together this quilt for Cortney's new baby boy, Austin.  First, strips of fabric were sewn together, then triangles cut out of those strips. Next, the triangles were rearranged before being sewn back together. The center section is hand-quilted and the outside border is machine quilted. I found a fun diamond pattern on my machine to use between the center section and the outside border. I may finally be getting the hang of finishing off binding because it didn't take nearly as long this time as it usually does. 

This weekend we concluded Ryan's Spring break with a trip to Idaho Falls so I was able to stop by for a quick visit with Cortney and the new little guy. He is tiny and precious. Hopefully we will get to see them again this summer.
