The Baby Boy Quilt
Date of Creation: 2008
Design: Fussy cut with animals, dinosaurs and sports and fussy cut corner stones, blue star border
The Story: When I first got started in quilting, I came across this too cute for words pale yellow fabric with animals, dinosaurs and sports. On the same day I purchased this fabric, I picked up a book on baby quilt designs. I thought this would be the perfect quick project. One problem...I had no clue how to fussy cut or square up fabric. OH BOY!! No pun intended. I was in it for a crazy first attempt at a quick quilt. Ha ha...it was not quick at all at the start. My Mom and I exchanged a few choice words in regards to figuring out how on earth we were going to centre these
Well, with a bit of perseverance, tears, sweat, more tears...did I mention tears?...the quilt came together and I was pleased as punch! In retrospect, had I known how to square up the fabric this would have been a much quicker sew! But all in all, a fun project with a great little story behind it.
