Project: Baby Quilt

Who doesn't like baby quilts? No one, that's who. However, none of my friends are having babies yet, so it would seem strange to just start marking baby quilts and not giving them to anyone.

But, life goes on, people get pregnant and soon enough I'm bound to know one of these 'pregnant people'. My friends' sister is due near the end of January, so my friend and I have been working on a quilt to give to the 'baby momma' as a gift.(By the way, today she had the BABY BOY!!! So today is the perfect day to post the post!)

If you've ever shopped for baby fabrics you probably said "awwwwww!" or "That's so cute" at least 1,000 times more than the general public. I'm pretty sure I said "awwwwwwww! Look at how cute this one is!" at every bolt of fabric with pastelly colour tones in it.

This quilt it gender neutral, (my money is on Girl, though....Obviously I was wrong), so I got to pick out lots of yellows, and greens, and browns. I also decided to pick out different textured materials, like the bumpy green one, flannel, and shaggy yellow. I should mention now that I did all my shopping at Joanne's Fabric store in the USA. As if the US prices weren't good enough, it was also midnight madness and the entire store was on sale.

 Pretty simple square design. I tried to make the corners fancy....I probably won't be doing this again. The edge was pretty bunged up. Next time I will be using a 3" binding. At least until I get better at doing bindings.

See, "AWWWWWWWW, super cute!"
Hopefully I can make many more baby quilts in the future!
