1, 2, Buckle my Shoe, & QCR Blocks 6 &7

 
Mary put together this darling baby quilt using an ABC panel for her newest grandson.  It also features a little growth chart on the side.  And a scroll at the top to write in the baby's name.  Mary had me leave that little part unquilted so that she could embroider his name there later.  The fabric in the borders has lines from the "1, 2, buckle my shoe" song. 
 
 
How cute are these vintage postcard ABC's?  I quilted some double bubbles with some meandering in a sage green thread.  The color blended in nicely without it being too distracting.
 
 
And here are my QCR QAL blocks #6- Curved Geese!

 
 
 
 
Half-way there!
 
Block 7 was Curved Log Cabin. 
 
 
 Scrappy version.  I'm really liking this block!
