Preppy the Whale Baby Quilt

My Preppy the Whale baby quilt is done (click here for the pattern by Elizabeth Hartman). These whales are ready to swim off to their new little owner!

This quilt is for my newest nephew, Leo. Leo's mom is a veterinarian, so I landed on the idea of making him a quilt from one of Elizabeth Hartman's animal patterns. They're all pretty irresistible, but I especially loved these whales. They're very easy to piece, too!

And of course, here's some of the scallop stitch "wavy" quilting. (It's stitch #719 on my Bernina 750.) This is such an easy way to quilt something! It's especially perfect for those of you who haven't tackled free-motion quilting yet—this is a way to get something that looks FMQ-ey, but it's not. (Also, can we officially make "FMQ-ey" a word? That really needs to be a word.)
