Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything here.
Things have been made in my Hidey Hole,
but I can't show them yet.
Yesterday I pulled out a bag from my cabinet of projects
and decided to make a baby quilt to donate.
Years ago (I can't find when in my photos)
I made a quilt using these parts and pieces.
There were a bunch left over, so I put them in a bag
with the pattern and there they have sat.
This baby quilt went together in no time since
everything was cut.
It was mindless sewing while I listened to a book.
The pattern is an old Moda Bake Shop pattern.
We had our two oldest littles here a few weeks ago
and while they were here, we picked up
some acorns at my church's playground.
I dried them and was able to easily take the caps off
of the acorns.
After looking on line, I combined a couple of ideas
and made these fabric acorns.
Another mindless project that was fun to work on in the evenings.
I need to get a few more acorns, as I made more bodies than I had caps.
Hopefully, it won't be as long in between posts next time.
Happy Quilting!

Those acorns are so cute and so is the baby quilt. I hope it was a really good book! I've been hit-or-miss lately on my book choices.
Cute quilt! Always fun to look at your fabrics I have a couple of them. Acorns are fun. We don’t have many oaks here and the few we do have very small acorns.
We have gobs of acorns falling on our deck, the squirrels are getting a free lunch! Congrats on working on another UFO.
The Moda Bake Shop baby quilt looks a lot like the "patchwork plaid" that I'm supposed to make next for my Maria Shell improv class. Very different look with wonky ruler-free cutting of the strips and solid fabrics, but so interesting to see how it works so nicely as a baby quilt in prints! No new ideas, just new interpretations I suppose. And your acorns are darling!
