Micah's 'big boy' Quilt

Remember this fabric? Well I finally had a yard of each design printed... let's not talk about how long ago! It took me a while but I finally decided I had to use it in a quilt... and since the time is fast approaching for Micah to move into a bigger bed twin seemed like a good way to go. So I started designing... because 3 yards doesn't go far in a twin size quilt. 

My original design was this--

Mom was kind enough to help me execute it (1 yard meant slight dimension changes on the blocks) and it turned out like this--

I kind of love it a LOT. It's quilted in variegated pearl cotton. 

Hopefully I will be showing it to you on his bed soon. Which we already ordered from JCPenneys at the beginning of December on crazy ridiculous clearance... it was exactly the style I had been looking for.  Now we just need to get all of the current guest bedroom furniture relocated to new homes...  We are officially half way through now so less then 20 weeks to get everything ready!

Book of Colors in the shop

I'm done- finally!

I had almost forgotten

Remember this--

 Well it's been joined by this--

 And this--

I am trying to decide if I want to do anymore... I need to make a decision because I really want to order some! I also need to decide what I want to make with it.. any suggestions?

So... I made fabric...

Mums been on my case to try it out so when I saw that Michael Miller had teamed up with Spoonflower I decided I might as well try and enter the contest. Unfortunately I didn't get chosen to be in the top 75 but I thought I would share my design with you because it was a really fun process. I titled it 'A Day at the Zoo' it includes 23 different animals that are commonly found at the zoo. The fun part for me was I wanted all of the animals to be drawn to scale it was interesting to see how all of them measured to each other since penguins and giraffes don't often hang out together...  

 I know the resolution on this is terrible - so you can also go here to check it out. We are planning on printing it up and making something- just need to figure out what.

I'll probably take the rest of the week off. I have a sinus infection and am pretty useless at the moment!

** I just realized Kara made it to the 75 which is SO awesome! Go check it out and vote!
