It’s been a while hasn’t it? I’ve been busy with life, work, and that always leaves little time for crafting. I got some time in recently, though, and did some more work on Nathan’s quilt. I am feeling a bit of pressure with timing on finishing this. He’s over 2, still in his crib, and about to go into a big boy bed. I have GOT to get this finished! I am hoping I finish this before the bed is in his room. We still haven’t bought the bed, so I think I still have some time.
This is going to be the front. It’s going to be reversible. Remember this post? I decided to go with adding the extra gingham. I was very happy with it, but something was still missing. I felt I was copping out of doing a real quilt. And, I had made all those squares of strips! Well, after lots of market research (aka viewing all kinds of other’s peoples quilts on flickr and other blogs), I came up with a layout and design idea. I wanted to have some feeling of lots of fabrics, yet, also showcase some of the really cute fabrics that I purchased for this item. I am going to use a white sashing between each square.
I am hoping to make some progress on attaching all the pieces together this week. We’ll see. It’s a very busy week.

Oh, I love it! Great job Kathy. I think the white sashing (or even linen) will look wonderful.
It's looking great! I agree with Stephanie on the linen. I think that would be awesome!
Those squares are really neat and interesting and it sounds like it's going to turn out nice with the white sashing and all.
