I dont have much time, so this will need to be quick. In the last week I put together 2 quilts, or say a quilt and a blanket. The first, for Virginia. Well for Virginia to give to a new mother-to-be. I made it with the scraps from the 2 sets of sheets (white with purple bordering each block, and the entire back) I made her napkins from. The other fabrics were scraps from a quilt I made for Ariana (http://craftaccino.blogspot.com/2012/01/purple-people-eater.html) before she was born. I wanted something simple. I wasnt sure how this was going to shake out, but I'm pleased. In the end, I bought the polkadot binding, because I just didnt have anything that felt right. It might be one of my favorite parts.
It isn't very "baby-ish", but I think the sweet white and purple fabric helps. It has castles and princesses, ballet slippers, and frogs on it. Virginia said it's ok, she can "grow into it" now.
