A friend’s surprise announcement that he is now the proud father of baby Sam has me scrambling. I usually have a stockpile of baby quilts on hand to use as gifts but I have run out “boy” quilts. Then as I was going through my stash, looking for something else, I came across this UFO:
It dates from July 2002 following attending a presentation by Mary Ellen Hopkins. My quilting style (and workmanship!) has changed considerably since then and I admit to some ambivalence about finishing it off. However, there’s only three or four rows left to be pieced and it shouldn’t take me long to put it together. Even if I decide to make something different for Sam, some little boy will enjoy this quilt.

I think this is a GREAT baby boy quilt – I styles always change, and thankfully, our skills improve – but that little baby will love it just the same.
Go ahead – finish it up!
