A quilt finish

I’ve just finished a baby quilt for a baby boy born last Wednesday. His Mum is my beautician and Daniel is her second son. I made a quilt when her first little boy James was born five years ago.
I was sure this baby would be a girl ( how wrong I was!) but I did use gender neutral colours, green and yellow, just in case Jo had a boy. Like I did for James’s quilt, I’ve appliquéd the name Daniel at the top of the quilt. I decided to use a red and white fabric I had in my stash for the name and also the binding as I thought that would add a more “boyish” slant to the quilt. It also picked out the red of the strawberries. All the fabrics came from my stash.
I hand quilted with Perle thread. The quilt measures 40” x 48”.
