Winter-themed Baby Quilts

I've been trying to finish these cuddle quilts for two babies most of the winter.  I set myself a goal to get them done by March 20 when Spring begins.  I made it!  The second one was mailed off today.
I had the quilt complete by Spring, but was waiting for the stuffed animals to add to it for three little girls in the family to enjoy.


The first one finished left here March 17th.
I included an engraved silver plate spoon which is a
tradition I started for my younger nieces, nephews and granddaughters.
The spoons belong to my mother's spoon collection.


This quilt had polar bears and icebergs, polka dots, snowflakes (not shown)
and birds with caps and scarfs (a hint of Spring?).


One of my new dragonfly cards 
went in the box with it.


The second cuddle quilt displayed snowflakes, penguins
and hot cocoa cups--as well as the polar bears, seals and icebergs.
Here it is pinned and ready for hand-sewing the binding.

The seal, polar bears and igloo soft animals arrived today.
I put them all back in the same box with the quilt and this dragonfly card.


And off they went!
Winter projects all done.
Tomorrow is expected to be single digits...
