Well the positive responses here by all of you kind quilting people have been more than I ever expected! I attended one local quilt group meeting some months ago -- just dipping my toe in -- and this forum supports my experience there. People who quilt are special people: very supportive, kind, and easy with encouragement and praise. Since here I am back on the forum, I'm including a picture of the second "quilt" I just finished, just to show those who have said "keep quilting!" that yes, you are right: I have been bitten by the bug!! (I put "quilt" in quotation marks because this is just a quick, small rag quilt and as promised based on online tutorials, it took very little skill and provided immediate gratification.) I think it will be practical and useful with a new baby, and although not at all as rewarding as my first quilt, it is bright and cheerful and it was fun to have a project and a reason to keep sewing. Thanks for all your kind words!

Your second quilt will be great for a baby/toddler as it appears to be very tactile. Someone with small hands is going to love feeling along those "frilly" seams for sure. There is no cure for the "quilt bug" so just carry on and get started on number 3.
