Mother's Day 2016

 Happy Mother's Day to everybody! I celebrated yesterday with my mom. We had an amazing day quilting together--I got there at 9am and did not leave until 6pm. We did take a break to run to the Thai food truck and grab lunch. I worked on this Modern Herringbone Baby Quilt.
These were the fabrics that I started with. I think they look amazing in the quilt! The good news is I have lots of leftovers and I am thinking of making another baby quilt out of them or maybe something for me...
My daughter spoiled me today with a lovely present--some gorgeous bracelets, bath bombs, nail polish, and salted caramel cookies. We also went for fro yo, stopped by Jo-Ann's, and finished up at Target. At Jo-Ann's I picked up this lavender fabric for the baby quilt's backing and the navy for the binding. I am going to make a few herringbone strips to make the backing wide enough. The baby shower is Thursday--I am not sure it will be done by then, but it will be done before the school year is over! Have a great week!

  13. Great color combo on this quilt... it looks like it will be a rather large baby quilt, which is not all bad because it can still be well loved even after they've moved out of the baby stage.

    Greetings from Germany!
