I have made what seems to me like zillions of baby quilts over the years. All my contemporaries and even their children are done with little ones. I have not made a baby quilt for years.
A business associate found out this spring that she was unexpectedly expecting another second child. I was by accident one of the first people she told via text, picking the wrong Diana in her contacts to break the news too. I knew at that time I was going to be making another baby quilt. This little one was a blessing this family had wanted and thought was not going to happen.
This baby quilt has sat on the back burner for months and now is the time to get on the stick and get it done. I have found my favorite baby quilt pattern with notes written all over it, pulled out my stand-by baby quilt fabrics, got my ruler and cutter ready, and oiled my sewing machine. Daylight is burning and I have to put the pedal to the metal.
I’ve been feeling the quilt-itch the past couple of weeks, too. Alas, everything is still packed so I won’t get to scratch that itch anytime soon. I’d love to see a picture of your finished baby quilt posted!
I will.
It had been ages, and doing a quilt pattern I was so familiar with has been nice.
Lucky Baby!
