Four Baby Quilts

I've been busy.  I pieced and basted three traditional style baby blanket quilts that I will hand quilt in the next couple of weeks.  I sewed one denim rag quilt that is finished except for being washed a couple of times to let the seams fray.

Here are the four quilts laid out on my bed, with the denim rag quilt at the top, and going clockwise, the applique hearts quilt  then a pink rectangular strips quilt, then the small multi-colored blocks with the zig-zag edge.

This is my first attempt at applique's.  I made my own heart pattern, drawn free-hand and hand sewn. This is also a memory quilt, done for my sister's first grandchild, a girl. 

This is my first attempt at a zig-zag border.  I started pinning the border on the right, just a couple of inches.  The rest of the border is wrapped in a circle in a plastic baggy laying on top of the quilt.
