An old friend of mine from college recently approached me about making a quilt for her to give away as a gift. I was honored and flattered that she would even ask me to do it, and of course I said yes! In my opinion it's the best kind of quilt to make, a baby quilt. They are so much fun to make because the fabrics are so cute and cuddly.
I have already figured out the design and made my shopping list for Joann Fabrics. Some of the materials I want are on sale so I am going to head over there tomorrow and get what I need. This doesn't have to be done for months, but now that I have it in my head to do, I'm very motivated!
In the meantime, I have been working on a few things I have laying around at home. I finished another block of the blue quilt I have been working on for years, and I experimented last night with making quilted coasters with some left over blocks from another finished project. They came out really cute, I will post a picture perhaps tomorrow when I have some free time tomorrow.
Once I pick up the fabrics for the baby quilt it will be my number one priority, and I will post some pictures of the fabrics I find tomorrow.
Here's a hand sketched design of the quilt. It's actually not going to be that many blocks across and down, I mis-calculated, but you get the idea :-)
