Surprise Baby Quilt

Not that the baby is a surprise (Not that there's anything wrong with surprise babies, I'm not one to judge) but that I have a quilt to make is the surprise. 

My husband just told me that a co-worker of his is expecting.  

For him it was a piece of news.  For me: a call to action!

 She is a she, I hear.  She is due in April.  So I have time. 

And I have lots of pink-ish fabric.

I decided against denim this time.  I hope I don't regret it.  Variety is the spice of life, ya know. 

Linen.  I love linen.  

Ignore the laundry back there, I fully intend to.

I see a log cabin blanket happening here.  I spent the morning cutting and ironing and after a little break, I'll start sewing.  I hope the colors clash well.
