Progress: Squares finished! Figured out layout!

I finished all the squares - 35 total! Here's the layout:



Justin had to help me. He's usually pretty good with the color & design stuff, so I like to run things by him & get his opinion. Another eye is always good! I didn't want too many of the same fabrics together. It was like a giant jigsaw puzzle! :)

Here are the squares, labeled & ready for sewing!

Progress: Figured out small square borders.

The smaller squares have 2 borders, whereas the larger squares only had one. I had a hard time figuring out what fabric to use for the borders, so I finally decided to use the same border as the larger squares' border for the small squares' first border. Make sense? Stay tuned for the second border, which was way harder to figure out.

Big Announcement!

My husband & I just found out we are expecting Baby J#2 next May! Jared's going to be a big brother! Here's how we told the families. The shirt was an idea from etsy. I just made my own!



Here's the back!

I took a break from my quilt for this project!

My friend Elicia had a baby girl named Lily on 8/19. She was 8 lbs & 14 oz of little bliss! Elicia's the one I made the pink & gray quilt for that I posted below. I knew she loved handmade things & I wanted something to take to the hospital when I visited, so I made these for her! She loved them all, especially the bag. She wants me to show her how to make them. :)









Here's sort of a closeup of the bag. The fabrics are all scraps from the quilt I made her previously.

Sorry I've been MIA! New posts coming soon!

I promise!

You wear quilt squares, right?

I've mentioned that Jared loves playing with my fabric. Well, he thought he'd wear a square on his head & play peekaboo. Way more fun than the zillions of toys he has. Cute!

Progress: I finished all the big squares!

Jared is now carrying a few of them around the house, but they're done. I hope some don't go missing. LOL! There are 17 big squares. Now I have to figure out what fabrics I want for double borders on the little squares.
