Another Day, Another Quilt

The matching boy version of my first 'Sewing with Nancy' quilt is now done. It's slightly different than the first red quilt, but pretty much the same idea. The weird thing is that the only 2 people that I know who are having boys soon are both really exceptionally good quilters so I'll be hanging on to this until a baby boy is announced by a non-quilting mother!

On these last two quilts that I've made, when I'm sewing at the machine, or when I bring the finished quilt upstairs, Girl #1 asks me, "is that for me?" then I say, "did you want it to be?" and she says 'yes' with such hope in her face. Each of my boys have a quilt so maybe before I dig into my Nest quilt, I'll make her her toddler quilt and she can help pic her fabrics. This should be the next project and afterwards I'll move on to the 'Mommy quilt'.

Still no word back from Nancy regarding the email that I sent her back when I finished my first quilt. I thought Nancy was different.... only time will tell. ;o)-

what an adorable quilt. Maybe I'll be the lucky recipient if I have a baby boy in 4 weeks- crossing my fingers. I seriously want you to show me how to do some things . LEt's try to get together soon.

Beautiful! I had a boy...14 months ago! One of my new year's resolutions is to improve my sewing skills, you may be the recipient of phone calls in the near future!

Who is this Nancy lady...I could really use some quilting lessons. I taught myself and I still consider myself a novice since all I do it sew squares together. The quilt is beautiful!
