Thanks for the nice comments. Our granddaughter arrived on the first day of spring--8 lbs. 2 oz! I won't get to hold her for awhile--they live on the other coast from us, but we'll visit them later this spring. The quilts are on their way via mail. Hope they arrive with no problems.

Tinker, the flowers are just yoyos and I used a fabric center stuffed with a little batting that I sewed on top of the yoyo. For the yoyo, you cut out a circle of fabric about twice the diameter of the finished flower that you want. Some use buttons for their flower centers but I didn't want buttons on a baby quilt. I made the larger flower a double one--just two yoyos of different sizes sewn together.

Here is a link to one yoyo flower tutorial.

The leaves are just free form cut outs. I sewed two leaf shapes, right sides together, then turned them right side out. Because I cut a slit in the back of the leaves to turn them and stuff a little batting inside, I sewed the leaves to the quilt top about a quarter inch from the edge, so they are a little bit 3-dimensional. Probably not the best way, but I'll know better next time!

Hope this helps.
