Big Baby Star

It takes roughly nine months to produce a human. It must take me a good chunk of that time to produce a baby quilt, because it always feels like I’m struggling to pull it off at the last minute. I never seem to do my best work when I’m under a deadline, so maybe I can be forgiven for not being on top of my game where baby quilts are concerned. When I bought the pattern for this quilt I thought it would be a good way to use up eleven of the 30’s fat quarters I’d been collecting. I wish I’d remembered that since fat quarters would also be used for the binding, there would be twice as many lumpy seams at the edges of the quilt. I’m considering making two more of these – one pink and one blue – to have on hand in case of baby showers. If I do, I’m buying separate yardage for the binding.
