a pretty pink party

So.

I was all set to get the Ties That Bind top finished today.

I'd gotten 3 of the 4 remaining dresdens made,

and the center circle appliqued on 

to the one that wasn't double bladed.

Right on track, I tell ya.

Then, I got a text from somebody wanting to know if I had a baby boy and a baby girl quilt ready to sell.

The boy one, I had covered,

but no quilt for a baby girl.

I responded with a photo of the pigeon quilt and a link to my post,

and said that,

while I didn't have a girl one just yet,

I had one in my head

and

had fabrics for it already,

so it was practically as good as done.

(Right?!) 

these colors are more accurate

I dug through my fabrics,

made a stack,

replaced a few fabrics

and started cutting.

(I didn't even starch and press first. gasp.)

love it when things match up like that :-)

Not counting the gathering of fabrics,

I've invested 365 minutes

and I've got a quilt top :-)

the little footprints - ahhh - so cute!

She may not end up wanting to buy this quilt,

but I'm enjoying the challenge of putting it together quickly,

And if she doesn't - hey, I've got one ready for next time somebody asks :-)

Linking up with Lee.

Now I'm off to make the back...

(this is not my own original design - I saw a similar quilt (most likely through WiPW ;-)

I didn't pin it, so I don't remember where I saw it, but I did leave a comment.

If it was yours, let me know, so I can link to your post :-)

(here are some photos of the finished quilt :-)
