One top finished and one pinned together

I pinned a quilt top for quilting today and now I will have it ready to go when I get the urge to hand quilt. I taped it to the table top and pinned it half at a time, much easier than crawling on the floor!

Also today I was able to finish a top I started a few weeks ago.

 I fell in love with the Pure Baby Boy quilt that the

Moda Bake Shop blog 

posted about in July. 

I used the Make Life fabric line to make mine.

 I didn't follow their directions too well. :)

 I used 8- 21/2 inch squares for my top (they used 6)  with that being bordered by another 2 1/2 inch strip(they used 1 1/2 inch).

 I had fun trying to get the fabrics all in a "random" order! :) 

Then I added about 15" of off white fabric for the sides.

 I might cut that down as I'm not too happy with it as it is now.

 But I marked it today for the quilting I will be doing.

Moda Bake Shop just used straight line quilting, 

I will be using a curvy line with flowers inserted about every 12 inches. 

The flowers will mimic the backing fabric I will be using.

I can't wait to get this quilt pinned up so I can start to quilt it. 

The baby this is for is due in October, so I better get cracking!
