New Wave Wheels!

We're going to be grandparents again (hubby's daughter) in about two weeks, so I've been working like crazy to get a baby quilt made for the new little boy before he's born!
 
I set a goal a on Amy's Creative Side One Thing, One Week challenge to get the quilt top together by today using Wheels by Riley Blake fabric and New Wave Quilt by Elizabeth Hartman / www.ohfransson.com pattern:




It's all finished including binding, matching flannel backing, washed and dried to crinkly goodness!  

Now baby can come!
