Baby R's new quilts

As usual, I was a Last Minute Lucy again!!!  I knew the baby shower was coming up and I knew I had a deadline but Last Minute Lucy took over...but I kicked her butt and finished the quilt and receiving blanket 20 minutes before I had to leave for the shower!  And, I also made four cradle sheets too!!!
You can see the cradle in the picture below.  Her dad made the cradle 35 years ago when she was born... The nursery will be done in pink and gray with chevrons.

The fabric line is "Willow" by Riley Blake.  When this line came into my LQS, I couldn't wait for someone to  have a baby girl so I could have an excuse to buy it!  I bought the other two colorways first thinking I was going to make the quilts from those but then I found out pink and gray were the colors so ,of course, I HAD to buy MORE fabric!  Her sister is due with her third baby in September so maybe I will be able to use the other colors sooner than later or if its a boy, I will have to make something for me.
