Ok, so I need another blue to make one more set of blue/beige blocks or the color balance will be off.  Not sure if I'll just use more of the blue star fabric or find another blue to add.
These are just the base blocks, they aren't done yet, but getting too late to cut and sew more without making mistakes.

7 blocks complete, only 13 more to go.
One is laid the wrong direction in the picture, but here are the first 7 blocks, somewhat as they'll be in the quilt.

Lovely quilts Chanda!  I too am a quilter and enjoy sewing during the cold winter months. Here is an adorable wee foal quilted blanket I put together with scraps. I also of course make queen size, king size and baby quilted blankets too.
Great job Chanda!

Thank you, very much.
I sell quilting supplies too.  I was on eBay, but prices went up and sales went down, so I've moved to FB, if you'd like to check out my fabric page, let me know, and I'll get you a link (or you can PM me your name, so I can add you with your permission; it's a closed page for now).
That foal blanket is adorable.  I never got the hang of sewing other things; tried clothing hated it and haven't had much luck sewing foal blankets ( the Velcro gets me in trouble).

I picked up one more blue at the quilt shop in town for that blue/grey/tan quilt.  And, while I was at it, picked up two yards of a cute fabric that I have no idea what i'll do with and a tablerunner kit that was too cute.

Progress made on the blue/tan/grey quilt.  All the pieces are cut, most are sewn and cross cut, ready to be sewn into finished blocks.   I have a stack sitting at the sewing machine waiting for me to sew.
Will get pictures when the blocks are finished.

Can't wait!!

We had a Baby Shower for the little one coming in November!  The whole family is getting very excited!!  And this Grandma can't wait!  Since my son Ben, the daddy-to-be is an identical twin, I'm dying to see if this little boy looks like his brother Jon's son.  We know there will be differences because of the mommies, but he's getting the same DNA on daddy's side.  Ought to be fun to see!

Sorry grandma didn't have her main gift for the shower, but hopefully Christmas works for grandma; we can do that.
It's amazing how alike siblings and/or cousins can look.  [And, equally amazing how different.  Shayne's brother looks more like his uncle than brother or dad.]

Ryan,
  Here's the baby quilt I did for our post mistress, she did have a boy, but would have worked for a girl, too, since it's all primary colors.  Bright and cheery.  [She loved it.]  Thought I had a finished pic, but it's almost finished here, just had to bind it, I think.  [I put the blue binding on it (not the orange).]

Just beautiful, Chanda, as always!

Yes, I wasn't expecting the baby quilt to be ready now, so all is fine!

"Ryan's" birth is now expected around November 9th we hear, a week ahead of the original prediction.

How about that.....I'm going to have my very own "Ryan" !!!!

Thank you.   Should be ready close to actual baby time.  The top is done, but I'm working on the blue/grey/tan, so it'll be ready about the same time.  I've done some sewing today, and have another 6 or 7 blocks done, so 6 or 7 to go; I'll have a couple extras.   So far, I really like the blue/grey/tan quilt; in addition to the cat and dog silhouette prints, I have aviator prints that are so cool, they fit the colors.   I may have a picture of the finished blocks laid out by tomorrow afternoon, if I get the chance to do some more sewing.

Ryan,
  do you think she'd like a juvenile cowboy print?  I found a really cute print in my cupboard, it has a blue background, but I think with the right colors it could be less boyish.  I also have a pastel heart print.  And, a cute kitty print.  I can get you a picture to see if any interest you.  And, we can always go a completely different way.  I was just looking to see what I have.  And, by the time I'm done with my already started commissioned quilts, my supplier may have a new super cute kiddie print that would be perfect.

Ryan,
   I can get these two teddy prints now, or we can keep looking (can also get a blue paw print fabric):
