You would be wrong if you thought I wasn't riddled with guilt making this baby quilt for a girlfriend who is expecting a baby boy in August. You see, my sister, my very own sister, my flesh and blood, had her baby nearly 3 months ago and I have yet to finish the quilt for her cute little Bridgette. Not only have I not finished it, this is the 2nd quilt I've completed before finishing her's (here's the part where I probably should not mention that I also made a cloth robot for a very sweet 1 year olds birthday party last weekend…but I mention anyway…I am going to be so busted) And I've been promising my sister it'd be finished this weekend (many weekends have come and gone- she is on to me…)
But I found myself on Friday night, the eve before the big baby shower, with absolutely no gift in hand. Unacceptable! So I pulled my big scrap bin out of the closet and started yanking out any and all fabric that resembled boy colors. 
Piece by piece, it slowly started coming together like a jigsaw puzzle. This was it. I really had nothing else to work with so I had to make this work (note to self: start replenishing fabric stash with orange & blue fabric STAT!) I have to say, I really liked how it turned out. The elephant print was used for the binding and on the back. It was left over from pajama's that I had made Henry. I must have purchased an extra 1/2 yard because I had a good amount of it left. Anyway, crazy-no-rhyme-or-reason quilts are becoming a favorite of mine. I hope the new little one gets some good snuggles out of it.
Vanessa I just wanted to say 1) put down that thing you want to throw at me and 2)I put some good hours into your quilt this week and it's 3/4 done. I know I'm starting to sound a lot like the girl who cried weekend, but seriously, I think yours will not only be done this weekend, it will be in the mail! Kiss kiss!
