But for my dear friend Lauren, who with three boys, just trumped me with her fourth (and probably final boy), I wanted to do something special for her. So I made her this quilt. But knowing Lauren doesn't sew much, I knew I couldn't just give her the top. Plus, how lame is that gift? So I tried my hand at machine quilting the thing.
It isn't perfect, and I am not convinced it will stay together after she washes it, but I am pretty happy with it. My mom didn't understand why I didn't choose "baby colors"--I thought I did?
-After uploading the pics, looks like my next class should be in photography. Ann, can you teach me how to use my focus/settings now that you have yours figured out?

I love the quilt. I am so impressed that you can put together colors and patterns that work. I hate to sew too!
I love, love, love it!!!!!!!! It is waiting for my sweet little John the Pirate to come home. Arrrrr. It really is PERFECT. I adore the card you made for him, too.
He has gained some weight back and is doing well. He was back up to 3 pounds yesterday. Woo Hoo!
looks awesome! i love the fabrics you chose-not your typical baby boy fabrics...probably why i like it so much!
and sure, i'd love to TRY to teach you that focus thing. we'll see if i can ever do it again. i might have just gotten lucky!
The quilt is so cute! Not only will the baby love it but I'm sure his big brothers will be jealous!
I've been on a sewing kick lately and want you to tell me how to do that... it looks great! I also love the colors-- totally boy!
I loved 3 Cups, yeah definitely made me realize my sphere of influence could be a lot bigger.
RRRRRRR - a baby pirate quilt!. Somehow probably not Dr. Spock (or whoever the baby doctor is now) but definitely way cool. Bob
Thanks for sending me the link. It turned out really cute!
