just right

I don't know what it is, but making quilts for my cousin and her family seems to be a very difficult thing to do.

pinwheels

What do you do when your nephew turns one? Give him the quilt you started for the baby shower.

In fairness, I would have had this done on time, but I somehow picked out colors and prints that didn't go together. I had the grey-green, beige and dark and light blue solids put together, and then realized that the browns and oranges I was going to use for the larger pinwheels didn't match at. all. It was pretty disconcerting. Like I had suddenly forgotten how to tie my shoes or something.

So I picked out something else for the shower and did a second search for fabrics.
