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.
