Quilting and dreaming

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.
