WIP - My Biggest and Best Yet

I've been super busy (not to mention sick and sleepy) of late working on my biggest work in progress to date...


Yes, we're having a baby!!!

I'm currently 14w4d along, with bub expected at the end of March.  After last year's heartbreaks it was a nervous few months for Mr C and myself but now that we've reached the 2nd trimester and all is looking fabulous we have started to relax and get excited.  Yippee!

Of course, I am already planning the nursery and all the little bits and bobs that I MUST make before bub arrives.  At this point we don't know the sex but I'm hoping to talk Mr C into finding out asap so I can really get into it.  The organiser and control-freak in me does not like surprises!

I do have the strongest feeling it is a girl, though, so I have bitten the bullet and started on a couple of things, using a sweet colour scheme of pink, red and aqua.  I know, I know, I just can't help myself!

Square in Square quilt blocks

For these 6" finished Square in Square blocks I used the free paper piecing template (available for download here) from Tamiko of Patchwork Notes!  They will (hopefully) eventually be a quilt, based on this cushion by the uber talented Rachel.  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?!

Ok, I'd better be off to get things done before I crash this afternoon.  Morning sickness my a$#*   ;)
