Baby-rama, baby!

Just a few projects I've been working on for various babies!

First, a flannel rag quilt for my BIL and SIL's baby, due in February. This was my second sewing project and what fun to just sail right through those quilted X's zip zip zip without stressing about being exact. This quilt can be likened to parenting in that I learned while doing, it was kind of exhilarating at times, I screwed up in a bunch of places, but overall the result is very good. (I am sure that with tutoring it will get into a good college one day.) Two views, the raggy side and the pretty side.


























Next project is Bunny the Second, in KnitPicks Spinnaker, color Oasis. This bunny travelled with me as a WIP to the Grand Canyon, sat in my tent for a week, and then was completed when I got home, so it is a well-travelled rabbit!
(By the way, I had a blast on my vacation. Check out the view!)

Finally, some bibs to go with the bunny. These are for a very old friend whose wife just had their first son. The bibs came out very well. I modelled the "pattern" on our favorite bib style from when our own kids were still wearing droolcatchers. This used up some leftover flannel from the quilt as well as some cotton chenille I bought for the quilt but did not use. I have more fabric so I will probably make more bibs, only with square collars since the curved ones came out functional but wonky in shape due to my total lack of sewing skills.
