WIP ......

Working on a quilt for BabyGurl's baby Ivy Rose (due in three weeks!) to have at her christening.  Of course I'll have a little extra time after she's born to complete it, but not too long.  

I found some fabric she liked quite a while ago and bought a layer cake of it.  I found this simple pattern recently.  I've made 20 blocks (I didn't realize at the time this was a 24 piece layer cake, not a 40 piece one).  I did not use the three striped pieces, nor the solid white one.  The quilt will measure at  approx 34" x 42" with 20 squares.  I actually bought two layer cakes (thank goodness) so I could make another five squares so that it will be 42" x 42".  I'm still mulling that over.  

So here we go with the crappy indoor pics.  My design wall is in the hallway .... zero natural light.
  

This is the fabric.  Willow, by Riley Blake.  

I also want to ask a question/advise of my fellow bloggers today .... Do any of you use plastic snaps (bibs, diaper covers etc?) What brand do you use?  Where do you purchase your snaps (and tool)?

My Little Pretties ...

Finally!  A chance to get an outdoor pic of the top I made from the Charm Pack Cherry pattern.

And yesterday I got a chance to do a little shopping at Hobby Lobby and picked up some grey dots for the backing.  After she measured out what I needed there was a wee bit left (just over a half yard) so I took it all.  You can never ever have too much of either grey or dots right?  

I still need something for binding.  I was hoping for some grey/white stripe the same shade of this grey dot, but alas, not to be found (yet). 

  

And just because I love it - another pic! 

And more of my haul from Hobby Lobby.  I always forget that they have fabrics there.  It's not all that far, but it's in a direction I never travel. Their selection is not large, but they have some really cute / pretty fabrics.

The green, and green/grey/black/white is for BabyGurl's baby girl's (due in July) diaper bag.  BabyGurl does not care for pink, but she loooooovvvvves green. 

The school print, and the alphabet print (that's duck canvas) came from fabric.com (I've been shopping with them a lot lately); all the others came from Hobby Lobby yesterday.  The puppies are flannel.  

So, I am going to be busy busy busy.  And I just ordered more fabric today, for BabyGurl's baby girl a baby quilt (again, light on the pink!)
