Baby Boy Blues

 Andy's manager and his wife had a baby boy just before Christmas.

I was talking about how we should make some goody plates for his co-workers and managers, especially since we haven't had a chance to the last few years.

Andy was most wanting to have a baby quilt made for his manager.

So, that's what happened.  ;)

I gathered and cut a whole bunch of blue and white  2.5" blocks, put them in a big baggie, and just sewed together whatever came out together!

The front was basically sewn in rows of 4-patch blocks, and then I thought, "Oh!  Star blocks would look fabulous if I replaced a 4-patch here and there!"

I did the math and made some star blocks....

...but, they were about an inch too big.  Sigh

I placed a few on a kind of bouquet and could have appliqued them on, but that just looked too busy and too country feminine or something.

So, I have several stars for a future project.  

Simple but stunning
