New Skill: Fastest Quilt Ever
We were invited to a Baptism the day before the event. The baby needed a nap so we couldn’t go out and I didn’t know the people well at all so I didn’t even know what we would get them. My husband and I challenged ourselves to make a small quilt with some unused fabric from my California/Dutch quilt. The deal was, we put the baby down and only had until she woke up to finish it.
I do feel a bit bad sometimes because these are not fabrics I like very much and if I gave the quilt more than 30 seconds of thought, it could have been better, but I didn’t have other fabric and we were in a race against the baby clock (and anyone with kids knows that the baby clock alarm can go off literally any second).
Honestly, thought I’m not fond of the quilt, it was really fun to make and it gave my husband and I something to do together that day. A lot of people get a nice quilt and they don’t want to think about letting their drooling baby anywhere near it, so I hope I hope that the quality of this quilt allows the family to feel like they can really use it.
Given the title of the post, you have already learned that this project took 90 minutes. In the end, I think I still had to iron it or something after the baby woke up, but for all intents and purposes, it was complete. Speaking of complete…no quilt in our house is complete without it being baby approved, so naturally, we let the baby have a good crawl on it. Baby was all smiles and wouldn’t get off. That’s baby approved in my book.
