Happy WIP Wednesday! I hope everyone had a very enjoyable holiday weekend, I know we certainly did (and got to enjoy a rare 3 day weekend, woohoo!) I feel like I am now coming out of a sugar induced coma from all the chocolate and sweets that have been consumed...you mean to tell me that eating chocolate bunnies and peeps for breakfast is NOT healthy and nutritious?? Anyways, in the midst of running here and there doing the family holiday thing, I did manage some time down in my sewing room, here's whats new:
In Progress
I finished up my granny squares baby quilt top, and am so so happy with it. The quilt back is pieced, and will be basted just as soon as I can get to Joann's for more batting! More on this quilt top here.

Owl-y Chain Link baby quilt
While over-indulging on super yummy things this weekend, my aunt asked if I could make a baby quilt for a good friend of hers who is expecting a little boy. Of course I said yes. She told me the mom really likes "cute little owls" as the theme for the nursery, and when I said I had just the perfect owl fabric, she looked at me like I had two heads, and I believe she said, "you actually have fabric on hand that has owls on it??" And to that I explained that it was just the benefit of being addicted to buying fabric, haha. Anyways I cut my fabric pieces, and am planning on using Amy's Chain Linked pattern as my inspiration, with the size doctored a little to make it baby quilt size.
That's about it for this weeks goings-on! Elizabeth tagged me in her recent post with some super fun quilty and non quilty questions, so look for a bloggy post coming soon!
