Baby quilt done!
Thank you all so much! My husband just left to deliver a baby quilt that I was supposed to take to a baby shower today. The mom wanted gray. It's my first heavier quilted quilt. I used 80/20 batting and it turned out so soft after it was washed. Before washing it was kind of stiff.

I've brought a few projects I prepped Thursday. Right now, I'm using a peacock batik and black terry cloth to make 12 reusable "paper towels" for part of my cousin's wedding gift (July wedding) out of 12.5" squares. I have 12 cocktail napkins to make from the same batik. But I left the table topper portion of the gift at home. I'm working on a small double wedding ring piece with coordinating fabrics.
I also brought 4 child sized adjustable aprons that I'm making for my daughter's class to use. I'm using a thicker canvas fabric from Ikea for it that I got on clearance. It's the same as what's posted here: http://teachlovecraft.com/wp-content...keaFabric2.jpg
And I have another uniform dress to finish for my daughter. She's just about out of her current size, so I should really get my but in gear on that one.

Do you have a pattern for the adjustable apron? I have been searching the internet for a pattern for a 6 year old with little success. would appreciate it if you had an idea where I could find child size adjustable apron pattern

My Sunday plans got canceled, so I was able to play along. First picture is the fabric, it had 2 B&W stripes and 2 of the cream. Decided to use the cream & make stack & whack 4 patch poseys. Think I'm going to sash with beige, black cornerstones. The black & white stripe will be a wide border. Need to trim the blocks, then arrange. I failed to notice that many of my cuts were very close pattern wise, so many similar blocks. Should have moved the ruler over a bit, but all in all I'm happy with this beginning.
