Found out Wednesday night last week I had been invited to a housewarming. On Saturday night. Yikes. I had to inventory my panel stash (long story for a different day) to find if anything was suitable for a boy toddler.
Baby animals fit the bill, but it took me hours to inventory the panels. Again, long story, but not today. I didn't get to actually start working on the baby quilt for the new neighbors until Friday night.
Made the panel bigger, then created a backing and layered the sandwich before bedtime Friday. I opted for straight-line quilting on Saturday morning due to the time constraints.
Finished the quilt binding (which had to be pieced from every brown solid scrap in my stash) five minutes before the housewarming was scheduled to begin. It was my first social event in years, other than church on Sundays. The quilt was a hit, and the toddler spent about an hour telling me what sound each animal made. Impressive! He could even make an elephant noise!
Linking up with Alycia Quilts.
