Well the mail just keeps coming! Look what was in my mailbox yesterday! Thank you Soile! I met Soile when she came to visit a mutual friend a few months ago and we introduced her to fabric shopping in Lancaster Pa! She is from Finland and well prices are so much more and variety is much smaller in quilt shops there. I will be using it for sewing supplies to go. She has made a few of these and you can see them on her blog, Töölön Tilkkupaja
don't you love the label and the lining fabric? too cute!

I decided to stay with my original pland and to make baby quilts instead of a twin size quilt. Here are two I will sew together today. My blocks are 8" and the quilts will be 32 x 40 .


I started a little boy baby quilt too, will share that when I am done
Hope you had a productive weekend too!

Those 16 patch blocks look so good combined. Whatever size quilt you make will be beautiful. I am ready for a touch of spring.

Oh so cool and handy and a big yes on the lining! That's so special that y'all could take her shopping for fabric in Lancaster. What a memorable trip that must have been for everyone.

Baby quilts. Right on. Cleverness again.

Hi Kathie! I LOVE how the blocks/quilts have come along! Have you ever shopped at http://www.burkfabrics.com/store/pc/home.asp ? The prices are great and they have quite a stock of quilting fabric.

I also linked to your blog... hope you don't mind. Let me know if you do. I ordered the book you recommended on Welsh Quilts. Now, can't wait till it comes! ttfn

Very good idea to make two baby quilts. They will make some little ones very warm, and their mama's very happy!
