Sneak Peek

Traditions can start out so innocently sometimes, can't they? Almost 2 years ago, the first couple in my group of friends at church announced they were expecting a baby. It was a very long-awaited baby, without getting into the medical details, so I wanted to do something really special. I decided I would make a baby quilt. Not that I'd ever done such a thing before, but who am I to let a little thing like that stand in my way?
As these things have a tendency to do, one baby in the group has quickly multiplied to several, and we are in the middle of a full-fledged baby boom among the "young marrieds" set at church these days. This cute little pink quilt is the first of several I will be making for babies that will be arriving in January, February, and two in May. (Not to mention whether I will be making one for my own little bug, due in March.)
I'll do a full reveal of Baby O's quilt next month after the baby shower. Until then, you can check out some of the other baby quilts I've made!
Benjamin's quilt (why yes, my nephew IS the cutest baby ever!)
All your baby blankets have been wonderful, I'm sure this batch will be just as special.

Zarah--did you do the actually quilting part as well? How difficult was it?
I think it is going to be a beautiful quilt! Of course, you should make one for little boy on the way.
Indeed it's funny how one "simple" gift becomes a tradition. My super simple knit baby blankets are a bit like that as well. This summer I cranked through 3 in about 6 weeks...hmm, still need to blog about those. The oldest babes are now 7 & yet I always here stories about them being favorite blankets, super hero capes, etc. :)
