It is almost here! First day of school is tomorrow morning - I really don't know where the summer went! My sewing room is going to be so quiet!!!
So, why the baby edition? Well, we walk to and from school everyday (we live in a city and the school is about 3 blocks away) so I made this activity mini quilt for the little one and me to play with while we are at the school waiting for the older girls to come out the door.
Can you guess what this side is? A straw house, a stick house, a brick house, and a wolf?
Here is the other side:
Because my little one loves the flaps on this quilt, I added a lift the flap to this one as well.
This time revealing the word:
I used the Nursery Versery again for the back (I don't usually splurge on fabric but this is just so cute so I made an exception!) I also used a cute little Sarah Jane print for the other side of the flap which I thought added an I spy element to the mini.
I mean, really, look at these mice!!! And that little piggie with the glasses - seriously!
I'm linking up to Rachel's Nursery Versery contest at Stitched in Color. I almost didn't make it but my fabric arrived just in time - literally! And I was fortunate that my oldest daughter was happy to spend extra time playing with the baby today so that I could finish (um, yes, I told her I'd write that!)
You are so creative! Who would ever think to do that with the three little pigs? I admire your ability to just make up such cool things.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, that fabric is amazingly cute!
Lol, those mice! He's sitting on a spool, so cute. :) I love the little houses, I see my favorite FMF print on one of the roofs!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Love the little piggies. What a great use for this seriously cute fabric. I bet your little one loves it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so creative :) Totally cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is just the cutest little activity quilt I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThose mice are my favorite. Love the houses!
ReplyDeleteSo cute Beth! I love all the details that you put into this! I'm sure your little one will have lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is just brilliant in every way, Beth! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!I love the little piggies. You did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteWow, so many details in this! Not just for baby...I think this could keep me pretty busy looking at all the prints!
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously sweet!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet and totally inspiring. I know that my little one would love something like this, so I am sure that yours will be just thrilled! Happy first day of school! We start Wed! Ack!
ReplyDeleteSeriously tearing up. This is too cute, Beth! I am working on a secret I-spy project and I just may have to incorporate some flaps... I haven't gotten any Nursery Versery yet because I only allow myself three tiny shelves of stash and they're chock full, but hopefully there will be some left or a reprint in a couple months.
ReplyDeleteGosh this is so brilliant and I absolutely love all those fabrics.
ReplyDeleteWe are just finishing up on the pen pal parcel and hope to post out to you at the end of the week.

I'm laughing that you told your older daughter you'd say that. Aria is SO "in" to trying to be "on the blog" or to get her cat "on the blog". Kids are so funny! Your project is super practical and so sweet. What a great way to use those pigs!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea! I love the improv feel of the quilt and all of the little details! Great job :)
