Don even asked, ”How’s the quilt coming…”
“It’s not. I don’t really know them. I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. I don’t have the time to invest in it. I’m going to just pick something up…”
“oh…well ok.. It’s up to you…”
Then I felt bad. It seemed like he actually wanted to give them a baby quilt. So I opened up the fabric cabinet and used two partial layer cakes, Pure by Sweetwater and Lily & Will by Bunny Hill Designs and clearance fabric I picked up at JJ Stitches.
The pattern is For Baby with Love by The Pattern Basket. I was a little timid at mixing the pink in with the blue but I was pleased with how it turned out. The family had a baby girl—so it paid off.
I loved making it. Completely fun. Machine quilting took about an hour and a half.
When in doubt---make the quilt……

I think you did a great job! I'm sure they'll love it. And I especially like your statement at the end. Everybody loves quilts.
It's beautiful, Melanie, I know they were so pleased to get it. Your Don sounds like my Mitch. I honestly think he likes it more when I make something for someone else than for us. I love that about him.
That was so kind of you to do for them! It turned out so pretty!
Well, it turned out great. I am sure your husband was proud to give it to the couple.
