When I found out that Linds was going to have a baby, I thought that I would make her a puff quilt. Dawna, Linn, and Addi have made a lot of them, so I figured that I'd join the club and get one under my belt, especially since they're so cute for new babies. I had no idea the quilting extravaganza that would ensue! Thanks to Mom's generous fabric donations, I got a jump start on the quilt over spring break when I had some extra helpers (aka Addi and Linn) around. We watched all three seasons of The Office on DVD while we pinned and cut the quilt every night! Andy even helped! (But he is a very manly quilter). Then I put it off until I was done with finals, as I figured I should focus on school. After finals were done, I had no excuses left! Without Addi there to coach me along, I recruited Linn (again!) and Bobbie to come and help since there was no way that I'd get it done by myself! Bobbie did have some other enticement (Willow) to come up and hang out.
Linn and Dawna were good enough to rescue me when I thought that the quilt would never get finished! But it finally got done, and just in time for Lindsay's shower! It fits in the crib perfectly! A lot of work, but well worth it for my soon-to-be nephew fetus!

I'm so sad I can't click on the bottom picture to make it bigger. I want to see the entire thing. Little fetus is going to love the quilt. However, I think I got the better end of the TV deal. The Office definitely beats Willow. Sorry, Bobbi.
That is the freakin cutest quilt I've ever seen! Could you maybe teach me how to make one? :)
well for what it's worth that quilt was soooo dang cute!! In my opinion it was well worth your time...your quite a sister, when my sister has a baby she'll be lucky if I make a burp cloth for her.
I still look at the quilt and think "My baby sister made that for me?!?!?!?" It is so gorgeous, and I'm sure Dane will love it just as much as I do. Thank you, thank you THANK YOU!!!
And what a most beautiful quilt it is.... boy, Lindsay is sure lucky to have you as a sister! You did GREAT!!!
