I have made a quilt for each of my kids and I have been struggling to get James' done before he is born. I got some fantastic Dino fabric and chose a dark blue and red to compliment it. I love the playful dino's and I found a pattern that made a really nice square in square pattern for the quilt.
Once I got all the squares done, I chose a dark brown fabric for the lattice work around the squares and a matching brown fleece for the backing. I wanted to put James' name on the quilt and my friend Megan was kind enough to help me do that with her embroidery machine. We got the cutest Dino/Monster font and put his name on the bottom of the quilt. Then we put his birthday in the corner and the quilt top is done! Now I just have to get the backing sewn on and it will be ready for the baby.
After finishing up at Megan's Wes and I ran over to Great clips to get haircuts. I don't like messing with my hair when I have a newborn, I just want it out of my way, so I got a cut inspired by "Mary Margaret" from "Once upon a time" I really like the way it came out! And it should be easy to manage and very low maintenance for the first few months of James' life.
