Lemons
This cute little runner came from a pattern and kit from the Ginger Quilter Box. This was my first time being successful with curved piecing. What you may not be able to see, the background fabric has little lemons. Related Images:

I didn’t know if I was having a boy or a girl but something told me that I wanted to use these fabrics for a baby quilt. The pattern is Lucky Stars by Atkinson Designs. A good friend of mine quilted it for me as…
