The days are going by so so fast and yet some days they seem so long. With four weeks or so before we meet our precious little one, I am getting the most important projects on my long long list out of the way.
As I mentioned in my weekly update yesterday, the quilt for the crib is coming along. This quilt was inspired from that vintage 1940’s rag rug I rescued from an antique store and completed with my own fabrics. I also pulled out a bag of Poppa’s suit shirts which had become unusable because of backing into something sharp or getting an in stain that would not budge. I saved these shirts to use the fabric never thinking I would use them in a quilt since I usually turn them into a dress for Olivia or something like that. I am so pleased to see pieces of Poppa in the fabric of our little ones quilt. With every square that is cut and joined to other fabrics I am dreaming of the little baby that will for always keep this momma made quilt just as all my other babies have.
I love crib quilts, they are such a fast project and this one is no different. In just a few more hours I think I could have it done and ready to quilt. All of the fabrics are from my stash but I am not including them in my Stash Bash Thursday because I have so many projects to share this week and they are all made of stashed materials. The backing is going to be from a white bed sheet I purchased a while back that was still in the package. Bed sheets on sale are my favorite way of getting a lot of fabric for a little money.
I can’t wait to see what everyone over at Nicole’s Craft On are doing today. Go on over and take a look.
