    I just found out yesterday I have until Friday to put together a blanket/quilt for a infant grand-nephew. He, his brother and their parents are going to be up from CA on Friday. As always I have been putting this off for a while since I found out she was pregnant. Now I guess since he is here and is going to be visiting I should get one done also before he is to old to use it.
    Here is a picture of what i've decided to do. I'm going to sew around each of the center frames and the colored square around, then use a narrow blanket/quilt binding to bind it.

    That is really adorable. I procrastinate too. After I had made my mom and a few others quilts for Christmas my brother hinted that he wanted one. His birthday is in April. I waited until the last week and was still sewing the day of his birthday. I was thankfully done in time for the party. I'm sure you'll be done too.

    I know it isn't the same as if I were peicing a quilt together, but I know this is going to take me every minute I can squeeze out between now and then. I also know my limitations. I haven't even finished a baby quilt i've been working on for monthts. I am still trying to finish putting the binding on. I work better under pressure to, it is just who I am. Hmm, wonder why that doesn't work for job interviews? Those I just fall apart.

    Very cute. I think we all tend to work better under pressure.
