I Couldn't Help Myself

It's not an exaggeration for me to say that I had been thinking about how this quilt would turn out since the second I bought the fabric. After I got Skylar to bed, did the dishes and some laundry I decided to go ahead and cut. I will iron tomorrow before I start sewing. I ended up using some fabric I already had that I think looks pretty cute with the stuff I picked up today. Just so you know, I love using different textured fabric in all the charm quilts I do...

Here's the fabric:




Here's the layout:






I think this is just going to turn out about as close to perfect as I've done so far. I just hope the happy expectant parents love it too. The backing is going to be a light green chenille. I'm hoping to be able to pull off a binding using the backing. If not I will use either the black or brown cotton... maybe the brown flannel. I'm a work in messy progress, lol! I actually looked at the quilting book a friend/coworker gave me for tips. I think I can do it. More pics later.
