Lots of lessons learned

This is the second time I have attempted to quilt this NICU quilt....

I put it together quickly at a retreat.  As I tried to just straight stitch quilt it the first time, I saw many of my block didn't line up and I hated how the straight-line quilting was turning out.   So, I ripped out my quilting, took the blocks apart.  Squared all the blocks up and put the quilt top back together.... Ugh!  Lessons learned:  flannel stretches, I really like longarm or edge to edge quilting better, and to slow down!



Two of my grandsons spent some time in the NICU and still have their quilts.  Happy to have this one done.
