Another baby quilt

Hello, everyone.

This is one of the projects that has been working in the background. It is now with DGS3. (Thanks to DH for holding it up for the picture just before boxing-up and mailing!)

The picture was somewhat underexposed and yellowed by the lighting in the room, so I put a little work into trying to correct the color tones. The blues are a little bit light in this image, but probably that's as good as it's going to get.

Top left, a four-patch with log cabin blocks surrounding Route 66 images. Top center, the Texas state flag surrounded by bluebonnet strips. Top right, um, I think those were bear paws in that four patch.

Center, ships at sea on top of four patches with blue accents to even out the sizing. Center, a Greek cross with the US flag and a bald eagle in the center.

Bottom left, more log cabins, then in the center some flying geese, and on the right four patch squares.

The orange things below the Texas flag and the blue things below the flying geese are fish looking at each other.

The star in the Texas flag is applique. I used my Starmaker 5 (I think that's the cutting guide name, it's still packed in boxes right now!) to make it. The cutting guide is great, as long as you don't forget how to use it between uses.
