{OH YEAH~ Bloggers' Quilt Festival: Spring 2012}

This is my first {Bloggers' Quilt Festival} submission, ever. I'm a real newbie at this; it's been about a year since I discovered quilting and I'm obsessed. I love the fabrics and the patterns and the blogs. I wish I was able to spend more time actually sewing than looking on the web at everyone's quilts, but for now that will have to do.


When we found out that we were going to become grandparents this June, I knew that I was going to make a quilt for the baby. I had bought Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket and put it aside for the right project. When I discovered Granny Square Quilts on {Blue Elephant Stitches} I knew that would be the perfect design for the baby quilt and the fabrics would work for a boy or a girl (even though they've slipped so many times and I'm convinced it's a boy).

It came together so easily after I figured out some little tricks. The more I worked with the fabrics the more excited I got to see the finished project. I had it in the wash about five minutes after sewing on the binding. I love how it came out.  And, it was a big hit at the baby shower. I can't wait to see the sweet little one wrapped in it.
