Baby Quilt
June 30th, 2009
These are the fabrics and pattern I’m using for Uly’s baby quilt. I’m making it full-size for the crib, so he can use it when he’s sleeping in the toddler bed. I had no idea how hard it is to cut pieces at random and to look wonky! It proved more difficult than I thought, as each one has to be cut separately and with concentration to make it look unique. I think I’ll love how it will turn out, as soon as I have some time to work on it again. I decided I’d make a reversible quilt, so I’m doing a pattern like my beach blanket on the back. I want the fabrics to really show themselves. I just love the combination I wound up with. It was a bit random in its making, but I’m happy with it.
I’m so excited for this weekend. The 4th is one of my favorite days of the year and it’s supposed to be sunny and warm. We’re headed to a friend’s house on a lake with good food, friends and fireworks. I hope you’ve got something special planned, too!

Your quilt is going to be so cute! I love the fabrics you chose and the pattern looks awesome. I imagine it would be hard to make them wonky, you get so used to trying to be precise with everything!

Super cute! It doesn’t look easy at all actually.
Have a great fourth, I love it too – I revel in being a tried and true American girl…and eat lots of course :)

It was a sheet that I found online called Pixel Organics Lions, TIgers, Oh my! I wanted the whole set, but it was $300, so I just bought the sheet ($58) and made everything. Thanks!
