More Ottobre Baby

This romper is a size larger (80) and fits better/will fit longer. The pants are cotton stretch terry this time. Otherwise, second verse, pretty much the same as the first. Both shirts go with both sets of pants, because you know baby boys care about that kind of thing.

Block #3 (and Block #1, take 2)

I suppose I broke some cardinal rule of mystery quilts, but I redid block #1 this week because I found a brown print (hidden with my Christmas fabrics) that I like better than the solid brown. It was left from a gingerbread dress I made for the twirly girl a couple years ago.

And here is block design #3, combining the brown print with the lighter of the blues. So much for easy. . .the photo is hiding the near-matches and the rippled bias seams. Triangles are my arch-nemesis and one of the reasons I am primarily a seamstress, not a quilter.

The idea of a mystery project is foreign to this perfectionist, but I’m trying to keep plugging along, sewing the blocks as they are posted and resisting the urge to wait until I see the whole design so that I can make my quilt be ’perfect.’

As before, the directions are a free download from You Can Make This. If anyone else is working on this project, I would love to see your version too!
