| Sister Linda, niece Katherine, daughter Sara and Didi |
Last Saturday, Sara and I went to a baby shower for my niece, Katherine.

Sara and I were happy sewers--or sewers--making the quilt together before the event.
The quilt pattern, from Frayed Edge Fun by Evelyn Sloppy, is called "Baby Blues" but uses circles instead of rectangles like "Baby Rails" from a previous posting. The fabrics were from Fabrics.com and included Amy Butler Love Flannel Tumble Roses pink. I also used Strawberry Shortcake Garden Flannel Fun Dots White (a bright green fabric with small white dots), Camelot Flannel Songbirds Eggshell, Parfait Flannel Plaid and Butterfly Banana, Flitter Flannel Paisley Garden Pink, and Fluffy Jungle Flannel Confetti Pink/Green. I bought an Olfa rotary circle cutter 18mm to make the cutting easier and faster than the rectangles.
I had made another baby quilt from the same pattern for Amy, my nephew's wife, with different colors. Her quilt fabrics were from Connecting Threads Sunny Day collection and included Posy Patch cream, Garden Patches blush, Posy Patch kiwi, Freshed Pick burro, Ditty Dots burro, and Mirage peach.

And, of course, each of the pregnant nieces received a baby carriage card.
Welcome, babies!
