More Babies! More Quilts!

With another baby shower coming up, I wanted to make another soft, flannel baby quilt for the newest baby in our family.  We have a lot going on and there isn't much time to sew, so I guess you could this a rushed "weekend quilt."  Meaning every waking hour of your weekend is spent sewing!  On Friday night I had the piecing done.  Congratulating myself, I thought the project was going very well.  Oh, I forgot how time consuming the quilting is.  But I got it all done on Saturday.  Binding...I forgot to buy fabric for it.  Found some in our stash!  Sewed the strips to the quilt.  Oh, I forgot how long the hand sewing takes to finish the binding.  But I did it!  The quilt was wrapped on Monday. I hope my sweet little grandson likes his blankie!



These quilts last!  I found the quilt I made my son when he was a baby.  It held up pretty well considering he is now almost 38 and two babies after him also used that quilt.
