my first quilt attempt

although i have been sewing for years, i have never attempted to create a quilt (except for the horrid, sorry excuse of a quilt i made in home ec).  my lovely cousin, maria, was expecting her first little one and i found this to be the perfect opportunity to get my toes wet in the world of quilting.  she chose not to find out the gender of the baby, so picking out fabrics/colors ended up being the most difficult task.  i love how the quilt turned out, however, i doubt i will be making another one any time soon!
