Baby Quilt

My good friend had a baby shower

this last weekend...so what do I do?

I decide last minute (the day before)

to make a quilt for her.  So with

a 3 month old baby, 2 active dogs,

apts to take care of, and packing for a

trip to Indiana.....I am surprisingly happy

with how it turned out and the timely

manner in which I got it done. 

PHEW!!!!

This is the first quilt that I have made

completely on my own.

I picked out the fabrics (airplane themed)

decided the size (trial and error),

cut everything, sewed everything.

And voila!!!

I have done a few sewing projects before

but I had kits that I bought where

all you have to do is put it all together

and it came with directions. 
I had so much fun making this quilt
and am now making 2 more for
my cute littel nephews....pics coming soon.

Let the crafting begin!!
