Project Baby Update

For the past 3 Saturdays in a row, I have worked on this baby blanket. It has been a lot of fun, and I'm really pleased with the progress made thus far. Last Saturday I sewed all of the pieces together to finish the front of the blanket. Yesterday I sewed the back and batting to the front. The blanket looks finished, but still has a lot of work to be done.....the quilting! I haven't decided if I am going to quilt by hand or by machine. I have never quilted by hand, so that intrigues me, and would be a great summer project as I continue to get more and more immobile. But doing it by machine would be a lot faster!

You wouldn't think so, but it took a long time to just pin all of the layers together evenly on all sides. This was taken right before I sewed all the layers together.

There was a lot of blanket to manage as I was sewing the perimeter.

Lori...pinning the handstitch part while I went to the bathroom (happens all too frequently these days!)

All Done...What do you think? I LOVE IT!

The back of it is so confy and snuggly...perfect for baby!

This was just an hour ago...Devin made us some burgers...he loves his little grill.

And lastly...here I am at 1 day shy of 28 weeks.

Whenever I lay down my belly really seems big! She was kicking during this shot :)
