Without further ado...
58" x 76"

I added little yo-yo's with red buttons to embellish the white band along the front!
I'm not sure how long they will last, since Emma has already started picking them off. But at least I have a few pictures of them on there!
Behind the yo-yo's I free-motion quilted little ladybugs!!!
I didn't even use a stencil, just threw caution to the wind and went for it!
I even did that along the thick red outer border, but you couldn't see it in the photo, so here's a picture of the back of the quilt to show how I quilted that section.
It is currently in the washing machine and I'm PRAYING like crazy that those red fabrics don't bleed! I pre-washed everything before I started making this quilt AND I added a Shout Color Catcher, so HOPEFULLY it won't bleed.
And what do you do with the scraps???
Make coasters!
CROCHETED GOODIES:
I finished up the rainbow blanket for the baby and thought she might need a matching pillow. (Free pattern found HERE)
Can you stand the cuteness?!?!?!
I absolutely love these!
And look at the texture on the pillow! I think the baby is really going to love playing with this.
Emma's room was quickly being over run by stuff animals, so I crocheted a toy hammock. (Free pattern found HERE)

AFTER
And just for fun, I made a few little butterflies. (Free pattern found HERE)
So what's next on the agenda you say??? Glad you asked!
Time to start decorating the baby's room!!! Going with an owl theme this time. I bought this adorable wall decal sticker display:
And this fabric:
Woodland Tails by Sheri Berry
(Riley Blake)
To make this crib quilt:
I also bought this cute owl cross stitch pattern and haven't decided if I'll make it a pillow or frame it.
And if ALL of THAT doesn't keep me busy, then I will attack my stack of unfinished projects from last year.
One last photo for the post, my cute little munchkin
She says, "Hey!"
