I’m so excited about the fabrics I got for the crib quilt I’m making for daughter #2! On top of that, I’m jazzed about the design I found. I was all set with a design I drew myself and had figured the yardage, but I fell in love with a sample quilt at the lovely quilt shop and that was that!
I used quite a bit from the Henry Glass Summertime line, but pulled in lots of other pretties. I’m especially drawn to the little black and white graphic birds on the top right – trees and birds are what I’m using as the overall theme in the room. I love orange to begin with, but I really think the combination with Tiffany blue and the sort of acid green is fabulous! Do you love it too?
Now, I just have to get my cutting table the dining room table and my sewing table cleared off so I can start! We had a little mishap with the pantry in the corner of the dining room – it literally fell off the wall! (We did not install it – looks like the previous owners had screwed directly into the lathe and not into anything solid, nor did they use lag screws.) Luckily the only casualty was the lid of my crock pot which was on top of the cabinet. I had swapped out the appliances for food storage during the 21 Day Organization Challenge I took earlier this year, so thankfully it wasn’t full of blenders and panini presses.
So all the stuff that was in the cabinet is in boxes on the dining room table, and there’s a bunch of other stuff on my sewing table from stashing things during my in-laws visit, plus some of Arden’s clothes that need to be stored away for Baby #2.
** What is going on with the comments on Blogger? I couldn’t even leave a comment on my own blog!! Here’s my response to Anonymous; she probably wasn’t able to get the comments to recognize her profile either!
I went through the 1st trimester slump as well. I’m doing a lot better now, though it looks like the 3rd trimester fatigue is beginning to creep back. I went to a part-time work schedule since November – I usually work 3 days a week, so I get a nice long 4 day weekend. I’m planning it to be crib size, though the pattern dimensions are 47″ square – it will be easy to adjust it, and the leftover squares can be used in the valance, crib skirt, etc. **
I really like your colors for the quilt. I would like a black and white themed nursery with a hint of lime. I’ve been meaning to start a quilt as well but I’m only in the early stages of pregnancy and have been feeling green :/ I’m a stay at home mom and so really have no excuse to not have started it. Do you stay at home? How big of a quilt are you making?
