Lucky Duck Panel

This is the lucky duck panel being prepared for quilting.

Each layer (backing fabric, wadding and then front panel) was masking taped down to my sewing table to hold it tight while I basted the layers together. I also put in some safety pins in the middle of each square to hold them still while I machine quilted the panel. I was quite happy with the quilting. I went around the duck and made a template of the star shape and quilted that on the opposite side and also on the duck's tummy. I quilted crosses in each square and traced around the borders and the 'BABY' wording.
