Baby quilt

I finally finally finished the quilt for my baby.

I think I've been working on it for a year.
Well, not working on it constantly, but when I have the time, And there is not much of that.
Still, I'm glad that it is done, and that My little Squeeker can snuggle under it.

I used my "brother Innov-ís 950D"
The program is Anita Goodesign "Stuffed animals. 128 designs, (20 different animals, in applique, stitched, and a stuffed version) I used the applique version, as I wanted the animals to appear more like a coloring book, and for the quilt to be soft. Often the solid stitched patters end up stiff and ridges, not something that a blanket should be.

The verity of animals in relation to my woodland creature motif, left much to be desired. 
No Squirrel. No Owl. No Dear. No Fox. 
Alligator, Lion, monkey, giraffe, elephant, tiger? Too Jungle.
Pig, cow, horse, chicken,sheep? Too farm

So rather then have 9 different animals, I decided to reuse the design of the few that I did like. I decided I could make a Brown bear, a black bear and a white bear.
Then a white, brown, and Gray bunny.
Then the only other woodland animal was a Raccoon.  I did not want two raccoon, so I fiddled with it, and turned one into a fox. (I know not I super job, but you get the idea.
That left the middle square for our little Squeaker's birthdate. 
I'm very proud.
