Congratulations on a "new" baby coming and also for joining the Board. I, too, lurked in the shadows for years and finally "bit the bullet" and joined and it has been nothing but "great." The gals have such good suggestions and "helps." Funny, I just purchased fabric for our Pastor's first grandbaby (boy). The mother seems to be preparing the nursery in "jungle" stuff; you know, giraffes, elephants, lions, monkeys, etc. JoAnn's just happened to have a bolt with the animals and I plan to fussie cut 6-1/2" blocks and use the "Warm Wishes" pattern which looks amazingly easy. I found just the right colors to correspond to the animals and will post a picture when I get some blocks done to let you see how it looks. The pattern consists of plain blocks and then rail fence blocks and that is it. Several ladies have posted baby blankets with the Warm Wishes pattern. The best to you.
