Last night I rifled through a bunch of available fabric--because the bulk of my fabric is unavailable after Elsa goes to sleep since it's tucked inside the closet in the nursery--pulled a few things together, but then couldn't decide on a pattern. Wracked my brain, even. Sheesh.
You see, I've got a good half dozen of baby quilts to make in the next few months. I've been lazy. Unmotivated. I'm attending a baby shower Sunday and want to take a bekka-made quilt to Shelley for her girl who is coming later this month.
Nothing spoke to me. What was quick and easy? Even paged through Quilts, Baby! to no avail. Then I spotted that Moda Sweet Roll I won from quilter's buzz long ago. Sweet Rolls are perfect for making log cabin squares because they're just pre-cut strips! Such a time-saver.
Log Cabin, Baby. It's sweet: pink, yellow, and orange featuring the traditional red center square. It's amazing how quickly I cranked these out. I'll likely use a lemon Kona fabric as the sashing and hope to get most everything done (selecting backing, buying batting, pinning & quilting, and then sewing the binding) by Sunday. I foresee late Friday and Saturday nights.
Not so sure how I'll arrange these pieces to look most pleasingly; those stripes are soooooo obnoxious. I'll also add another strip or two to each square. But sixteen seems like a good number for a baby quilt.
