Pending Project

I decided to make a quilt for C's baby shower next month.  It's a simple design with thirty 4 1/2" finished size squares (set in a 5 x 6 design) with 2 1/4" sashing (the fabric between the squares).  Since C doesn't want to know if the baby is a boy or a girl, I decided to use a bright color scheme that will last through childhood.  Here are the fabrics I'm auditioning:


I am going to make a "puzzle quilt" with 2 each of the same block.  When the baby gets older, s/he can have fun trying to find the matching blocks.  The ABC fabric with the black background will also be the quilt backing.


I am going to "fussy cut" a few blocks from this colorful fabric.  Trying to find different and coordinating fabrics for this project was a lot of fun.  Now I have to prewash everything and get cracking!


Look at my little helper!  Amber spent Wednesday at the vet's for dental surgery to remove two teeth affected by "feline tooth resorption".  I'm glad to have worked recently to pay for my pets' expenses.  ;-)
