Love that quilt design and the quilting on the baby quilt. I know how the quilting was done for the 9 patch, but how did you do it in the background squares? Really nifty. Thanks for posting.

I just marked all the larger squares with a 1-inch grid and treated them like they were 9-patches.

Great quilts! Love the jewell-tones in the baby quilt. And you "practice" quilting has been perfected!

These are both wonderful quilts. And how thoughtful of you to include the big sister in the happy event. Your quilting is very pretty. The curves are a nice counterpoint to the angles of the piecing. Did you use a long arm?

There's a good chart and explanation of calculating setting triangles here: http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/sites/...d_trianges.pdf

Thanks for the how-to info. Wishing you many happy hours with your grandchildren.
