My first quilt!

This is my first quilt and I love it! It's a baby's quilt and is for my friend Melissa who is having a little boy soon. I started it when I didn't know what sex it was going to be, and she just told me she was painting the room grey. So I thought I'd do grey and yellow, coz it's a great colour combo. The squares are machine sewed, then I handstitched the binding and handquilted the pattern. So it worked out really well, and now I want to make another one... good thing there are lots of people having babies this year! :)
