You Are My Sunshine

In the beginning of the year,

there was a bit of a lull in the need for

Baby quilts.

I made a couple to donate to my church

and a couple to donate to another charity.

Now,

I need three baby quilts for wee ones being born

this summer.

My niece is having a girl...

her 5th child! 

I've had this roll of Kaffe fabrics for a long time

and bought a roll of white with yellow pin dots last year.

It was time to create something with these.

I sewed two sets of three strips together

and then sewed those sets together,

making a tube.

I used my triangle ruler to cut squares from the tube strips

and ended up with these squares.

I'm still playing with the placement

and will begin sewing these together soon.

In the meantime,

I wanted to play with 

Maisie!

 (She has been cleaned and oiled and sews so smoothly!)

There were scraps left over from these strip sets,

so I cut HST's from those.

Yesterday I made this on Maisie!

It's 16 1/2" square, so I think it will end up being a pillow.

 

These are all of the fabrics used in the baby quilt.

 It will be a sunshine filled quilt (and pillow), for sure!

 

I need to be careful now.

So far this year I have been able to reign in my desire to

keep starting new things without finishing what I've started.

It's beginning to get out of control again.

My cutting table is beginning to groan from the weight of the

blocks and fabrics on it.

This week I am going to sew some of these things

into tops and get a couple of piles off of my table.

Wish me luck!

I'm linking to Design Wall Monday today.

I hope everyone that celebrates Easter had a joyous day yesterday.

Happy Easter!

Happy Quilting!
