The other morning I woke up to this text from our girl:
"Brooke told me yesterday that Nat's gonna be a big sister; she's due in July...
So this is my formal request for a baby quilt."
I'm tickled our girl asked me to make a quilt for these friends and co-workers. They are going to wait until the baby is born to find out the gender. I love that. Life seems to be so micromanaged these days - I think it's nice to have a surprise tucked in there every now and then.
It DOES make choosing fabric for a baby quilt a little more challenging and I spent a lot of time looking online. Then I found this print at Hobby Lobby.
I think this could work and our girl said she loved it. I found a few prints to coordinate:
But I need to settle on a pattern before I move forward. I may make something similar to this quilt I made a few years ago:
Or I may make a triangle quilt for a more modern look, but in that case I need a few more coordinates so I turned to my stash:
Time to play!
