Scrappy Baby Boy quilt


I am trying to finish several baby quilts to have on hand when there is a cute baby to give one to.  Before I went back to work I always had 5 or 6 baby quilts ready at all times.  I would like to build up another stash.  For this one, I did something I always wanted to, I used pieces to make a a main block.  This one is really a free quilt.  All the blocks are leftover from other quilts.

These nine patches were made when I was doing one block a day.  I need to get back to sewing at least one block a day, I really want to spend more time sewing.

Lego quilt

I have a system, I am cutting them out and putting them on this tray so I can pick my colors as I go. No, I can't do the grab a piece and sew it in regardless. I also have a lot of beiges from Sheri, and I want to mix them in, but still make a cheery babies quilt. Yeap, it will be a small one. I haven't set a deadline on finishing it. It will be kept for a family baby, so I don't have to hurry.



Does anyone have a favorite place to order batting online? I am trying to order online this year, and not make so many 30 minutes to town to buy $10's worth of supplies. I just hate paying postage, but I will try to get on board with the rest of the online buyers. Kevin loves online buying. I guess I will try. Sooooooooo, where should I buy from.
