On the quilting front, after a productive day yesterday, I have completed the snowball baby quilt that I was waiting for a name for. Our neighbour's son Oscar was born on 27th July, whilst we were still on holiday.
If I were to do this one again, I'd do some additional quilting in the middle of the snowballs to keep them from being quite so puffy... but I'm a perfectionist!
I also cracked on with my Sherbet Pips crib quilt, I went for a snowball design again, partly because I've never actually kept a snowball that I've made! It took longer than usual to lay out the design because I wasn't completely enamoured with some of the fabrics in the charm pack - and looking at other completed Sherbet Pips quilts on Flickr it seems most people have had a similar problem and rejected the same designs.... I'm interested to know if anyone else has made anything with Sherbet Pips and if so what you thought?
And lastly I have a third baby quilt to tackle this week! It's for a baby girl born a few days ago. I'm trying only to use stash fabrics for quilts at the moment and to keep the projects simple, so I've dug out this very girly collection...
No idea what I'm doing with them yet! A third snowball would be easy, but not very inspiring to make.... So maybe a half square triangle quilt?
And finally that other significant work in progress... Today I am exactly one week from my due date! So next week could mean three birthdays in this family! Mine on Monday, my husband's on Thursday and perhaps the baby will join us midweek? If not I'll be back again next Wednesday with a WIP update. Until then have a good week!
