PIP: Wanna see my made-it-in-a-day quilt?

I pieced, basted, quilted and sewed on the binding Monday while DH and Noah were OOT and I was sick, then I hand-stitched the binding while watching approximately 2 seasons of Lost yesterday.... Embarrassed.

It's for a sweet baby love named Olivia June (who, btw, was born Tuesday and unfortunately has been under bili-lights for the past day- and only comes to her mom every FOUR hours to BF- is that normal?! That seems so far between feedings for a newborn!!).

Anyways- here's her quilt! It's made from Kona coal and an It's a Hoot charm pack. It's on it's way to TX tomorrow along with some cube crayons in a cute bag for Olivia's older brother Roan!

  • How do you find the time?! You are a.maz.ing.

    4 hours seems a bit much. the one night Max was sleeping in the nursery, he was brought to me every 3 hours, and that 3 hours included the time I was feeding him (so like if he nursed for 45 mins starting at midnight, he was still brought at 3am.) Maybe her weight is not as much of a concern as her treatment?

    Yeah she's a little chunker (or, at least, over 8lbs) so that must be it!

  • Beautiful! Every time you post a quilt picture, I move "learn to quilt" up on my list of things I want to do.
  • beautiful! 

    and to the other question, ya 4 hours seems a bit long.  DS had bad jaundice and we did the lights at home, but i had to feed him at least every 2 hours around the clock, even if it ment waking him up.

    wtf? 

    Do I need to link up some Regretsy finds to make you aware of what people will purchase regardless of certification or talent?
