last sunday our pastor said that an old member of the church was expecting a baby.
apparently they needed alot of items to welcome her.
the church threw an anonymous baby shower today.
and among those gifts, was this baby quilt i made.
i was not at the shower, but i know the quilt made it there safely.
{via the assistant pastor...aka the hubby's best friend.}
i was being bad rachel and didn't start working on it until thursday.
i pieced it thursday and completed it friday night.
{while the hubby and the above mentioned best friend watched a movie.}
i was in a hurry friday night, so i finished the binding by machine.
{so NOT my favorite way, but it turned out pretty.}
i know that to most people the label is lacking information...
since it was an anonymous gift, i chose to just use the baby's name...faith.
{the photos were taken at night, sorry for the lighting.}
many, many thanks to john for swaping fat quarters with me.
this quilt would NOT have been the same without them!!!

Very sweet quilt. And what a nice thing to do for someone.
Disappearing nine patch! It's my new obsession. Super adorable!
She will love it to bits!
I love it, Rachel! The disappearing nine patch is my new favorite block. Thank you for introducing us!
It turned out beautiful!
very nice, I bet it will be treasured.
Boy, did you ever work fast!! It is just great! I love it and so will she!
Record time! It turned out lovely.
awwww...rachel, it is just gorgeous! how very thoughtful...☺
WOW...you work fast! Beautiful quilt...it will be muchly loved, I'm sure.
I love those shades of pink! Fast work and a great cause - how generous of you to let it remain anonymous:)

this is beautiful. i love the vintage pink and blue. so sweet!
What an adorable quilt and super sweet gift!
Adorable!!! I love the colors that you chose! I am working on a D9P right now. :)
Wow Rachel -- what a nice friend you are. The baby quilt turned out great!
Very nice and how kind of your church to do this baby shower for that family!
I love the simple note. It says it all. Stippling is my favorite thing to do...I know I am nearing the end of a project.
What a wonderful and heartfelt (and heartful) gift!
Is that a disappearing 9-patch? Very CUTE!
Wow, Rachel, I am so impressed. Not just that you made the quilt top itself but that you quilted it, too. Do you do your stippling on a regular sewing machine? It looks like it and it is beautiful. I am sure it will be one of Faith's favorite quilts! You are an inspiration!
what a sweet little quilt. and i like the simple label, too. perfect.
I do not know how people make a quilt in a day but you sure do a great job.
Oh it is lovely. Rachel you are very talented. I'm sure the new mom is very happy with all the love she got.
What an adorable quilt! Can I have one?
Very beautiful, I love it! :) The labe is perfect, and when most people forget labels at least you included one...and such a pretty one. :)
What a thoughtful gift! Can someone send me a tutorial for the sew cute disappearing 9-patch quilt? Thanks!

What type of stitch did you use to finish the binding by machine?
