Part of me is thinking, "You're not really going to go through your quilt pictures and blog about them one at a time, are you?" The answer is: I'm not sure. Maybe?

What's this? Another log cabin quilt thanks to Eleanor Burns's Quilt in a Day book? Guilty! Why mess with a good thing?

This was made for a childhood friend of mine who was having her first baby - a girl. And our school colors were purple and gold - did I really purposefully choose our school colors? I honestly don't remember. It's a good combo, nonetheless.

Another thing I keep saying to myself: "Bless your heart, Jess". I don't know if that translates well, but I'm so proud of my beginner self trying new techniques, even if they aren't executed that well.

Maybe you can see from the photo above, I both tied and machine quilted this baby quilt. I had a little pucker in the machine quilting, but I wasn't too worried about it. :) I also see that I did a binding instead of turning it like a pillowcase. Again: points for trying, young one.

I totally remember being thrilled with finding the most appropriate, fitting backing fabric.

Baby quilts are my favorite thing to make. It's because of the size mostly. Being able to try out a new idea on a smaller scale without the same time/resource investment as a full size quilt. But still the act of giving a gift for a new life - it just doesn't get better in my opinion.
