Wow, another week gone by. How does that happen so fast???

Here is a little baby quilt I whipped up this last week. I got the pattern and instructions from a book called "90 Minute Quilts". I love the book because it has great ideas for quick quilts. But.. Guess what??

If you said it took me more than 90 minutes to make you are right!!! And it wasn't just because of the extra embroidery. Maybe I'm a slowpoke, maybe I get interrupted too much or maybe it's because I have to lay it out and change my mind 2 or 3 times before I'm satisfied. You decide!!

But it was fun anyway and I think it turned out cute. I have listed it for sale on my etsy website.

I used flannel for all the blocks for the top and the back is flannel as well. I embroidered on 5 blocks and quilted the other blocks in an X pattern. It's a very girly quilt with lots of pink and oh, so soft.

Well, gotta go get kids to bed and study for my A&P test tomorrow night.

Next time, I'll share my "block of the month" blocks that I'm doing through the quilt shop here, they are really looking nice!!

Thanks for reading my blog.

Blessings to you.
