The Sewing Mom

I’ve taken some time off from work and blogging so that I might spend time enjoying my family and getting a few other things accomplished. It really is amazing just how much I can get done when I don’t sit down in front of my computer!

Today I cut fabric and turned it into this. I machine pieced this top for a baby quilt for a gift for a friend of mine. To begin with, I cut 73 5×5 inch squares and the borders which are all 5 inches in width and vary in length depending on their placement in the quilt. I then pieced together 9 of the squares to form the center of the quilt top.

Next, I added the first set of borders.

I pieced it all together and this is the end result.

Now I just need to get it quilted!
