Gray linen lovin'

This is for my niece-to-be, arriving any day now, to her yellow and gray nursery. I couldn't resist throwing a little pink in there too. Modern is such a buzz word lately but the trend has made me feel like I can branch out a bit. The gray fabric is actually linen which is so lovely but kinda stretchy and therefore a bit of a beast to quilt. Good thing it's only about 32" square...

And guess what my favorite part is....

...the piercing.
