So I have been working on lots of ideas for Tadpole's (my future niece or nephew) quilt. I have started sketching patterns and have found the cutest baby elephant applique on Etsy. I haven't settled on a color scheme yet so we shall see if any of these appliques will work. The other potential snag is that I have never worked with appliques. It seems easy enough but you just never know. Last night I got completely sucked in by Etsy. There are so many wonderful handmade items and such a huge selection of fabric. There are some really decent prices on pre-cut quilt squares. That is one of the most tedious parts of making a quilt. I think that I am going to order some squares to see what the quality is like. I have also started a book of quilt patterns and plan on documenting all future sewing projects in this book. It will be my quilting/sewing bible. My hopes are also to make comments after the projects are finished on what went well and what didn't, kind of like making comments in cookbooks like mom taught us.
