Contest is now closed. Winner to be selected by random draw and announced in next post.
So, back in early 2012 I sent this baby quilt off to Martingale to be included in their new book Modern Baby. And now, finally, in April 2013 the book is published and out in the world.
This book features 14 quilt patterns for fresh, fun, and modern baby quilts. Many are quick to sew and can be completed just in time to take with you to a baby shower. 
I'm still pinching myself that one of my quilts was selected for inclusion in the book. I mean, have you seen the names of the other contributors?
Designers include Amy Smart, Audrie Bidwell, Carolyn Friedlander, Carrie Bloomston, Me, Jake Finch, Jen Eskridge, Lindsey Rhodes, Melissa Corry, Pippa Eccles Armbrester, Sarah Flynn, Shea Henderson, and Victoria Findlay Wolfe.
