Time to Hand Quilt - Frame Recommendations?

What a great term - QTD. I've been seeing a lot of that lately on our Southern Calif Quilters' Run. One shop was displaying a quilt with very tight stippling around a medallion applique; my aunt asked about it and the shop owner said that the quilting was called "McTavishing" and was a new type. I have heard of McTavishing before, but thought it referred to using textured threads. Maybe this is a new trend.

On another note, I am putting together the final rows of a Grandmother's Flower Garden crib quilt, all made of 30s reproductions. So much handwork is inspiring me to hand quilt this little quilt. So, now I "need" a quilting frame. I have been looking at floor frames and hoops on the web and like the no-baste idea. Does anyone have any recommendations? I sure like the Jasamine, but it is very expensive for a newbie. I will probably leave it set up, so I would like something that looks nice. It seems that there is quite a difference in the way that you attach the quilt top, back and batting to the frames. Is the Grace frame system really easier? I hope someone has some experience to share

Hi!
We just had dinner with DS and DDIL and they had their ultrasound today and told us--it's a boy! We are all excited because both our grandchildren are girls.

I guess another baby quilt is in my future. Has anyone done a "boy quilt" that turned out so great they want to post a picture or recommend a pattern? We are talking not too hard and definitely utilitarian. Not heirloom stuff.
