I have been reading my friend Liz's blog, Lady Harvatine, for a long time. It was one of the first I found when I started quilting. Thanks to the LA Modern Quilt Guild, we now know each other and are pals. She's having a baby very soon, so of course I had to make her a quilt!

I'm a touch stripe obsessed these days...
I quilted double zig-zags in each blue and yellow strip (I didn't use a double needle, just did one zig-zag then echo quilted it) and added the occasional pop of monochromatic fabric.

Oh and guys, did you see? There's totally a dog in a teacup right there.

Hope 2011 is off to a good start for you!
