I need an opinion!

So, I need to make a baby blanket.  A baby blanket for a mother and baby I’ve never met.  My husband is friends with the father, and it’s just one of those things I feel strongly I need to do.

Here’s what I need help with.  I made three stacks of flannel fabrics I could use for this project, but I’m not sure which one to use.  Like I said, I’ve never met them and have no idea what the mother’s style is.  So I’m asking for opinions.  Would you mind letting me know which stack you prefer?

#1 #2 #3 And also on the sewing table, these squares that I’ve finally started piecing together.  A houndstooth quilt is on my list of quilts to make this year, and it’s finally underway.  I’m going for red and white.


Please leave a comment telling me which bundle you would prefer if you were receiving a baby girl quilt.  Thanks so much, I really do appreciate it.

Tumbler Quilt



Meet my first quilt of 2012!  I was so grateful to finish it in time for last weekend’s baby shower.  It’s now in the hands of an amazing mother-to-be.   Full of  color and pattern, I hope it is used often.


I did something I’ve never tried before for the back.  I used two different brown solids and made wide stripes.  I quilted it on my machine along both sides of the seams on the quilt top.


I bound the quilt in a bright red alphabet print.  I like the way it carries the cheery center of the quilt top out to the edges and ties it all together.  The red also looks great against that chocolate brown.




This quilt was a lot of fun to piece together.  I’m pleased with how it turned out.
