Baby Quilt

I saw this quite a while ago and fell in love with it!  And I put it in my "bank" of things I wanna make someday...

And then we found out I'm having a girl and a whole world of opportunity opened up for me!

And the first thing I had to make was this quilt.

I couldn't get it out of my head.

So I went fabric shopping and came up with this:

I basically followed her tutorial fairly closely.

I obviously used different fabric.

I cut the letters out using my Silhouette, which was AMAZING!  Saved me so much time!  I really heart that little machine.

And changed the word "play" to "poop" because, come on!  We all know that's whats REALLY going on.

And I used black thread to zig zag stitch around the words.  I love how they kinds of pop.

I simply quilted diagonal lines across the thing, since I didn't really want to hand quilt anything and don't own a super fantastic quilting machine.

I basically love everything about this little quilt and can't wait to let my little belly snuggle with it...or on it...or whatever.

So a HUGE thanks to Vanessa from V and Co for this amazing idea and tutorial.

And expect a lot more of where this came from!
I'm not due until June!

And there's a WHOLE lotta ideas out there for little girls...

I CAN"T WAIT!!!
