Having successfully produced a first progeny, one of my colleagues and her husband decided to take another stab at it. The product of their labors...literally...is a fine young man named Wesley.
For his quilt, I opted for a selection of fabric featuring Peanut's characters.

This pattern is known as "log cabin". It was the first pattern that I learned and it is one that I enjoy using. You can do so much within the confines of that pattern.
Unfortunately, I ran into the quilter's nightmare with this quilt. There are lots of different approaches to laying out a log cabin quilt. You can rotate the panels to make several different patterns. But the ever-present risk is that you can end up unintentionally making swastikas. This particular fabric selection seemed to make it hard to use any of the other layouts that I know without making a swastika here and there. There are other quilting patterns that have similar problems.
And well, I wouldn't do that to young Wesley. So here we are. He approves!
