Christina's Quilt I

reishkaSo, my close friend Christina is going to have a baby in October! Unfortunately, she and her hubby live all the way on the other side of the country (quite literally -- I think there's fewer places farther apart than Connecticut and Washington State), and I'm not going to be able to be there. I'm super crushed (you have no idea). So I'm making a quilt for her little peanut! She didn't want a boy/girl-themed quilt, but instead asked for owls. Now, I'm not one for arty quilts. In fact, I really have no idea what I'm doing! So I'm not going fancy -- pretty much it's entirely applique! And then I'll quilt some pretty designs on it in the end. (And don't worry - she's totally cool with me posting the quilt with y'all. I asked. :) )
So, some photos! The colors aren't exactly right, as I took the photos as night with a bright light focused on them, so they're a little washed out. Otherwise, this is pretty much how it looks:
A full view of the quilt; eventually there will be a moon and at least one owl, if not two, on the branch.
A close-up of the stitching. The green thread is variegated!
Another close up; this time from where the tree and grass intersect:
