The Girly Skirt

I recently bought the pattern for this skirt...
I can't wait to make it for Avery! We went to the fabric store today and she picked these fabrics...
(for the main skirt)
(for the waist & hem)
This pattern is by "Pink Fig Patterns" and you can see all of their cute patterns HERE!

Myles' "Big Boy Bed" Quilt

This is the pattern for Myles' new quilt (click the pic to see more detail). He has been sleeping in his "big boy bed" with a crib size quilt. I'm using 1930's reproduction fabrics. I'm cutting out the triangles right now and getting ready to assemble the hexagons. I'll update with more pics ASAP!

Self-Binding Receiving Blanket

Okay, so I know this isn't a "quilt", but it's a homemade blanket, so I'm posting it. PLUS, it's adorable! LOL :) This is the first thing I've made for the new baby. It was so, so simple to make. The backing ends up also being the binding, with mitered corners. I think the rick-rack is the perfect final touch! (I found a great tutorial HERE)
