Passing the time (Part 1)

Today Brian's mom and I finished one of 2 quilts I had started a while ago. I actually cut all the squares the summer I was pregnant with Brennan but never did finish them.

We had a pretty good system - I pinned and she sewed. It probably took us about 5 hours to complete so not too bad!

My big ol' belly:


The finished product:

Tomorrow we plan on doing the boys one so I laid out the pattern tonight:

Brian and his Dad have been doing finishing work in the basement the last 2 nights too - painting doors & putting up trim. Nice to get these little jobs done!

Jen, those are gorgeous!! Now I'm not sure if I hope you go into labour tomorrow or not... that blue quilt needs to get done, too! :) 'Specially since I think you're having a boy (so said the chalkboard)!

Happy Due Date!!!!
i Love the rag quilts. Taeya has one and it is still used regularly, either as a play/morning-cuddle-blanket, or as a blanket for sleeping when we go out (something familiar in an unfamiliar bed). best blanket EVER.
love the two you've made...soon you'll be cuddling your babe in one of them!!! :)

Love the quilts - nice to get those done - It sounds like Brian's parents are keeping you occupied and helping you get lots accomplished! Yay for parents!
