March was not a good sewing month, I only finished one project and that was the last few days of the month. 

I made this quilt as a baby gift for a friend’s granddaughter.  The pattern is “Ethan’s Star” from the Mar/Apr ‘04 issue of Quiltmaker.  The top went together quite quickly as it is one big block.  I was able to cut out and assemble the top in one evening and then quilt it and bind in in another.  This is the first time I have machine quilted and bound a quilt, I usually tie them.  The machine quilting was very simple, just a diagonal lattice pattern.
