I’m 37 weeks pregnant today, and only now am I actually getting around to making this kid any kind of quilt. I have been so insanely indecisive about where to start, like making something handmade for my own child for the first time has just been Too Huge. So I decided to start small, with something that would just force me out of this weird mental block I’ve had for the past 8 months.

Time for another blanket!
One of our 1st grade teachers at school had a baby last spring. She had to go on maternity leave early and we didn’t get to throw her a shower. So this week, we did. I made her little girl Shayne this baby blanket, using my “Mary Had a Little Lamb” fabric.
Little Alannah, daughter of our friends Colm and Adele, has her first birthday party in a couple of weeks. I decided to make her a baby blanket. Colm and Adele have a nice, quirky sense of humor so I thought they would like something whimsical but not super girly. I like homemade gifts, and I wanted to try something more challenging. I’ve never finished a blanket before. I love all these spring birthdays, they’re giving me a lot of great practice!
