Making Progress

I got the baby quilt top put together today.  Now to get it quilted and the binding on.  I can make it by Thursday!

On Order...One Baby Quilt...by Thursday

It's been a crazy couple of weeks, and I haven't pulled my sewing machine out in days.  But I am ready for a project.  I just might have bit off more than I can chew on this one.

We went to visit my MIL this weekend and she casually mentioned that my husbands niece is having a baby shower next Sunday.  I probably should have kept my mouth shut at that point but instead what came out was "I need to make her a baby quilt!"  Did I mention the shower is on Sunday?  On top of that I'm headed out of town on Friday, which means I have to get it in the mail by Thursday to have any hope of having it at the shower.  Sometimes I just need to learn to say less, but what fun would that be.

Luckily she is having a boy and I have been dying to make a boy's quilt.  I picked up fabric on the way home today and will be frantically quilting to get it done in the next three days.  Here's what I picked up.

  Needless to say, I will be using a simple pattern and wish me luck that I can find the time to get it done by Thursday without staying up all night.
