New Quilting Project

This is my latest project!  Actually I just came up with it today and it needs to be done by next Friday for my mother-in-law's birthday.  I've not actually completed a quilt yet so this will be my first one (I'm still waiting on fabric for the other quilts I'm working on).  Anyway, I purchased some muslin and asked the lady at the store to cut them into 5" squares.  Then I bought some fabric crayons, fabric printer paper and some freezer paper.  Once I got home I had my boys each draw and color a picture onto two squares of muslin.  Once that was done I ironed the drawings to set them into the fabric.  This is where the freezer paper came in.  I kept a sheet on the back of each piece of muslin while I ironed it.  Then!  I picked out four photographs of the boys and their cousins and printed them out onto the fabric printer paper I bought.  Once that was done I went into my "stash" of charm packs and chose a pack that would match the boys' drawings and "Flower Power" is what I cam up with.  It's gonna be cute.  I can't wait until it's finished and we can give it to their Grammie.  Here are some photos of it so far.  Nothing has been sewn yet.  That'll start tomorrow.

I LOVE QUILTING!!!  And fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, because of the entrepreneur in me, this will be yet ANOTHER shop that I open in order to help raise funds for our adoption.  Yes, that will be three shops A Bun In The Oven Maternity & Baby (although, my store front is missing suddenly from this shop....have no idea what happened to it), ETC Jewelry and then there will be?????  Not sure what I will call the quilt/blankie/lovey shop but I'm sure it'll cause me great stress in coming up with the name, as usual : )  Anyway, here are the photos.......

Have a great weekend!!!!!
