WIP Wednesday
This week’s project is another baby quilt. It’s pieced with brightly colored scraps from a variety of fabric lines.

Before Mil was born, I picked out a lovely collection of fabric to make her a quilt. It was a big stack of mixed prints, and the Little Golden Books Fuzzy Duckling Panel. I had the whole thing pieced and ready to baste, but she showed up a week earlier than expected (which was extra…
