"Sprout's First Quilt" by me

My first great niece is due to arrive June 26.  Her in-utero name is "Sprout", hence the title of the quilt.  This quilt shows a lot of different things that are important in her family.
Mom to be Katie, likes to bike with us, so the monsters on bicycles was my jumping off point.  Since "Visible from Space" is our clothing line, clearly neon green and orange were also needed. 
The backing represents her father, lover of gnomes and owner of a goat "Pearl".  Quilted with flamingos, although difficult to see because we refer to our biking group as "The flock".  One last family representation is the mushroom fabric for the binding for dad who grows them.  Last time I was at their house, the mushrooms were growing in the future nursery.  Hopefully that will move at some point.
