BABY QUILT

My  main gift I wanted to have for baby girl was a quilt. Isabella has one (she got from Tifanny, Stephen's cousin) and I really wanted bebe to have one too. I was a bit intimidated by the whole process at first but decided to go for it last week. 

I don't think I have mentioned this before but my grandma sent me a huge bag of fabrics and laces last year and that's were I have been getting most of the material for my projects lately. I bought some of the fabric for this quilt and also used some of the fabric my grandma sent me. So all these projects are extra special to me because they connect me to her in a way. I plan on making her a photo album of all the stuff I've been making and sending it to Honduras so she can see. It's so cool to see that bag of random old fabrics become all this cool stuff.  I also have made it a goal to be resourceful with all these projects. I try to use stuff from around the house or go to the thrift store and get fabric there (sooo much cheaper than regular stores). For example for this quilt instead of using batting (which is kind of pricey) I just used an old fleece blanket and it worked great. Although I made a TON of mistakes, and it's definitely a beginner quilt, I am really proud of how it turned out. For being my first quilt I think it's pretty good. Quilting is definitely lots of work and  requires precision (which is a big weakness of mine I usually like to wing it). I am excited to make another later on. Maybe for a baby boy....:)
