Last fall I saw a cute children’s fabric panel at a quilt show and bought it, figuring I was likely to have at least one more grandchild at some point, and I could use the panel for the basis of a baby quilt. Little did I know that a new grandchild was already on the way!

I finished the quilt before he was born this summer, but I didn’t learn until the day he was born that his middle name would be Fox. So I’m delighted to give him a quilt with a cute little fox on it:

The fabrics that surround the panel were all part of a fat quarter set I bought years ago from Hancock’s of Paducah. The panel itself was fun to quilt; I stitched along most of the lines, then put in some swirls for clouds and echoed a few motifs. I meander-quilted the blocks on the sides, but one block has a special message of love for our new little guy.
