The quilt makes me smile - it's dang happy! It's also soft - perfect for wrapping up Baby Max! I used Hobbs Heirloom batting, and the quilt is machine appliqued, machine stippled and measures 52x52-inches. Now, am I going to get all of Max's loot into his Mickey Easter Basket?!?
The backing with Easter Eggs on it was the perfect find! I added bows to the bunnies - they needed to be dressed to do their job!
On our last day in California we went to the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Nigel to celebrate our anniversary. The Ritz is right on the beach and has the most fantastic view of the Pacific! We sat outdoors on the balcony and had ourselves a little "toast"...the waitress saw us and asked if we were celebrating something so we told her it was our anniversary, and just like that she disappeared but was back in a flash with cheesecake and happy wishes for us! The grounds of the Ritz were decorated for Easter with giant (about 10 feet high!), hand-painted Easter eggs, so, so cute! As we strolled around the grounds we noticed little brown bunnies everywhere...do you suppose the Ritz had them brought in just for Easter week?!? Sheesh! If you ever get a chance to go there, do - now I know what "puttin' on the Ritz" means!!
