What a fast week this has been!! Do some of your weeks go like that? You have plans and ideas, and then the next thing you know - the week is coming to an end?
I have been invited to a baby shower for someone who I have watched grow up, and they are some of my most favorite people. I started thinking of all the things I knew about them - and had fun choosing fabrics that represented them.
Also - I finished it !! In a short amount of time - I was quite driven...
We have pigs and chicken fabric. They helped us raise pigs when Little Bit was learning. There are tractors - as they farm, and my husband drove for them for a while. There is an Antique truck - they had one at their wedding, and cows - cuz - well - we all raise cattle - and teal paisley - that is his favorite color.
I hope they will like it - and USE it!!
I have also been organizing my *quilting Space* and I have come to realize - I need to focus.... (famous last words right?)
So I told myself to make a list, and then stick to that list for at least the month of August. Cross your fingers for me - that you see at LEAST 4 finishes for next month. Deal???
I need to make this FONF work for me - and inspire me to Get 'er DONE!

Making a list is easy, sticking to it is hard, lol. I love the way you picked fabrics that represent the family of the baby that’s coming……makes it so special!
What a pretty and special baby quilt - and how neat that you could make it so fast! Good luck with your August goal.
What a fun way to create a quilt - so meaningful! I bet the recipients love it, Alycia. Is that your own design? It's perfect for featuring fun prints. Happy Friday!
I really like that quilt - such an easy pattern to whip up! I'm also going to be redoing the whole fabric stash etc for the month of August - it's mostly in storage. Now that we're done traveling for the year, I really need to get to it! Blessings!
Very cute and personalized baby quilt. Great job!! I'm a list maker, and keep hoping the list will help me diminish the quantity of projects and things in my sewing space. It's helped a little - good luck!! I still have a long list and a lot of stuff in my happy place. LOL
What a fun finish! I make a list as if I don't my little squirrel distracts me way too much!
Beautiful baby quilt!! Already it is filled with memories! I always give a quilt with the same instructions---USE IT!
The quilt turned out so nicely!
Your fast finish is awesome! I'm trying to do the same thing... create a baby quilt in just a few days... for a last-minute gift. I'm also trying to organize, so I'll be joining you on your August goals. Good luck!
I am sure they are going to love and use that special baby quilt! And this week absolutely flashed by. I haven't had time to get to my sewing machine. Maybe this weekend??
