In quilt along news...I have decided (based on John's suggestion) to do a bunch of tutorials to help you with your Christmas gift giving. I have a hefty line up planned. More news on that next week.
I'm declaring this baby quilt week here at Crazy Mom Quilts.
I plan to post a completed baby quilt (top at least) each day. This pattern is Plain Spoken from The Modern Quilt Workshop.
In a personal challenge to myself, I am trying to make several baby quilts for a few reasons.
1. I find it hard to make small quilts. My mentality is, if small is good, big is better. I think it just boils down to selfishness. If it's at least a lap quilt, I can keep it and use it myself. As much fun as that would be, I really don't need that many more quilts.
2. I have a list of quilts that I want to make that is out. of. control. This should be a helpful tool in whittling down my list. At least that's the hope.
3. One of my new year's resolutions was to make more quilts for charity. I haven't done very well with that. Yet.
If anyone cares to join me in making a baby quilt (or quilts) this week, I'd love to see what you come up with.
