Well the material is bought! Now...

 Let's start by saying that in October we will be blessed by a new little boy in our family. My niece Helen just found out that it will be a boy. Of course we have know about her being pregnant for awhile, but just found out the sex. Time is going so fast that October will be here before we know it. YIKES!  I bought the material for a baby quilt today. I haven't made many quilts (4 small ones) so I need to get started. O.K. you guys who quilt...I am not the fastest quilter. This will not be fancy. But it will be made with love. I did stay away from making it completely boyish as you never know. Sometimes (as good as ultra-sounds are) there could be a surprise. Not likely...but. Now to get the courage to cut into the material. Nail biting going on. That is the hardest part for me. O.K. here is the material I picked out:


I think it is so cute. I saw another one that I liked also, but it was very boyish. No way to make it unisex. This one is going to be so much brighter though. From what I heard it is good for babies. Don't know if that is true or not.

I am so glad that I got out into nature on Saturday as it rained a lot on Sunday and off and on today. I am so mixed up on the day of the week now after having a 3 day weekend.
I know how lucky I am though as so much of our country is having tornados and flooding. Please say a prayer for all the people who are going through the awful weather. I can't imagine it!!! Have a great week everyone. Hugs, Teresa

    Love those colours. What pattern are you using?
    And yes, my heart goes out to the people who are facing floods and tornados.

      I think just a 9 block pattern. Maybe some triangle blocks on the edge. I have to stop looking on-line for more ideas.

    the fabrics are gorgeous! I am sure the whole family will love it. I was just listening to the radio about more flooding in Texas so I am not going to complain about the showers we are having.
