Civil War blocks and Baby quilt

I have finally gotten the 20 blocks needed for my living room quilt, finished. I hope to get them put together soon and maybe send it out to be machine quilted. I really only know how to stipple on the machine, and thought maybe I might like something different this time.

I also finished the " dog and cat " quilt for our first grandchild. I started this quilt as soon as I knew our daughter in law Becki was pregnant.

I used Bento Box pattern-- I have used this pattern so many times for a baby quilt-- I highly recommend it. I think the " Paw " backing is great.

We just found out that its a BOY ! He is due late July ! VERY EXCITING !
Now that I know its a boy, I am waiting for her to let me know colors, theme, for the baby's room -- I will make a very special quilt for our little guy to match his room and bedding.
