WIP (Works in progress)

It's baby season again.  We have 2 more babies due before the end of the year.

First up is Ryan and Kiersten (remember this post?) are excpecting their first child in the beginning of October.  Initially, they both decided not to find out the gender of the baby which is why I bought the fabric I did.  I already knew I would making a quilt for them and found the perfect pattern.  The difficult part was finding the fabric as going gender neutral is hard to find.  Luckily I found this:

"Chrip!" by Katie Hennigar.  It has shades of blues, greens, browns, yellows, pinks with tiny birds.  Cute huh?

So I started to make my quilt, sample of a block:

And ended up with this:
I put cream borders around and the backing is cream and I think I'm going to bind it with either green or brown. 

Well, I just found out yesterday that they both couldn't wait and found out that they are going to be having a boy.  Would this quilt still work for a boy?  I'm debating as it would work but it might not because of the pinks.  I'm nervous and might make another quilt entirely with more boyish fabric but I don't know.  This is where my parnoid state comes which Drew hates.  hee hee

Next baby is for Doug and Bri my brother-in-law/sister-in-law.  They are due in December and already know they will be having a boy and everything will be themed... can you guess which theme?... hint... think their wedding.  I couldn't find any baseball fabric, but I did find this:

"Nautical & Nice" by Sandy Gervais

I don't want to show too much of the quilt because I don't know if they see the blog, but here is a hint:

I hope it turns out nice.

I'll post more once everything is completed and quilted.  I'm determined to finish these quilts before the end of the month.  Wish me luck!
