I went digging through my stash for a background and found the little music notes which I thought were a perfect fit for the little birdies in the print. Then I chose colours from the print to make the flying geese. I resized a pattern called Big Goose Chase by Pieced Tree patterns
Before long, it was time to slice the fabric---always a little nerve wracking
For the quilting I did simple wavy lines following the lines in the trees
This was therapy at it's best
So looking forward to holding you in my arms little man : )

It's beautiful! Those little shoes are adorable too!
Such a beautiful quilt! Love the birdie fabric so much!!
Time for writing a post to you. Sorry I'm really unskilled in the use of the english language and so it's not so easily to me.
First, I more often look at your blog and admire yours sew. You are very crative and your materials are very well combined. Very nice baby-quilt.
Many greetings from Bavaria

What a beautiful quilt! And those little shoes are adorable.
What a sweet quilt and a quick finish.
I am in the middle of repairs (not for me) and I tend to procrastinate (not fun jobs) so I needed something to distract me. White 5" squares alternating with various greens - all solids. A baby quilt done quickly and I'm happy.
What fun!! I always love what you make, Carla! The only thing missing here might be an aqua hand-knit baby hat!!! I'm just saying'.... Ha!
The best therapy there is! Great end product as well.
great way to use that fabric!
So beautiful! I think this is my favorite quilt I've seen using the Novella fabric.
Beautiful colors and such a simple, striking pattern! I love the wavy quilting too. Great choices all around. :)
Such a sweet quilt Carla! I love Valori Wells' prints and this is just perfect for a new baby! Those little blue shoes are adorable! Wishing y'all the very best!
This is a beautiful design to show these gorgeous fabrics and the shoes are adorable :)
so tweet!
nice and cheerful quilt...
Great use of the big print! And also so smart to have a little fun piecing and then get to a fast finish.
I really love what you've done with this big print and the music notes is a perfect companion print! Your grandbaby is one lucky guy!
Absolutely gorgeous. Love the bird fabric.
very sweet!!
I think this is one of my favorite quilts ever and the fabric is adorable!
A beautiful quilt - perfect fabric and colour matching too.
What a delightful quilt Carla! You DO make the best stuff! The trees remind me of paper bark trees.. Just beautiful! I agree with the other Carla- this quilt needs a little baby hat to match!
What a lucky little guy!! Love that bird fabric and the geese is a fantastic way to use the fabric on the front. I would have just put on a quilt back :( I needed some therapy myself yesteday: 2 hours outside in my ADK chair with an adult beverage and sewing 2 large chunks of my Value Proposition together. Ahhhhhh. :)
That is fabulous and will be a perfect quilt for that new grandbaby. I love the fabric choices. The geese match the main fabric so beautifully.
What a beautiful pattern and beautiful fabrics. I am sure it will be a delight to the beautiful new baby when he arrives.
Carla, your quilt is just beautiful and I'm sure that not only will the grand baby love it but the parents will as well, good job!
Quilting is my therapy as well! And, bravo to you! This quilt is so harmonious! You truly made everything work together swimmingly!
Hi Carla! You have always so great ideas! That bird fabric is so beautiful and you found perfect way to use it! Flying geese in matching colours and music notes make this quilt fantastic! Thank you for sharing your ideas and giving us inspiration! x Teje
Such a lovely finish... and great use of that pretty bird fabric! oh, and the little shoes are too cute!
A baby!! You are always so good to be ahead of the game for your baby quilts--and this one is wonderful. I love the wild geese in the middle of the beautiful print. And congrats on another grandchild!

It's so beautiful and sweet! Have been reading your blog since i recently found it (always late to the party...)... thank you for being so inspiring!
You chose the perfect design to show off that beautiful print, and I love the incorporation of flying geese. It gives it the perfect amount of movement. Congratulations on your upcoming grand baby!
Perfect use of that special fabric. It's so nice when a special purchase finds just the right project.
How wonderful is that quilt? Wow! So simple and yet such a great visual impact! You never cease to amaze me with your talent :*) Hoping for that sweet little boy to come soon!
