Blogger's Quilt Festival: Baby Quilt Category!

Every year, Amy over at Amy's Creative Side hosts a Blogger's Quilt Festival.
This year we get to submit two quilts, if we so desire.

My baby quilt entry was for a faculty member's new babe.
His name is Guy.
What guy doesn't need a mustache quilt?!

I'd been yearning to make a Must Dash quilt since I had seen it initially.
I hunted up a bundle of Parson Grey's in blues, greys, and buff that I had stashed for a while.

I finished binding it at Stash Bash and delivered it the week after.

Must Dash done!


It's approximately 38" x 48".
The mustaches are appliqued on.  I stuck with a simple stitch in the ditch with echoes on either side for the quilting.  I wanted it to stay nice and soft.

The mustaches still crack me up.

The babe's dad may have actually teared up with surprise when it was delivered!
