ABC
Happy Blocks for a Baby Quilt
40 x 48
My nephew and wife are having a boy in October. I guess his name is Zimmer.
I have a lot of 6.5 inch ABC sets of fabrics from past swaps. Each set is different and it's fun to see what fabric represents each letter when the swaps come back.
I bordered each square alternating polka dots and stripes (except for one mishap where I used polka dots instead of stripes but I'm sure the baby won't notice).
I'll have to piece together some batting and then look around to see if I have something appropriate for the backing. After I get it quilted I will iron on the appropriate letter to each block...hopefully without mishaps.
Hopefully I'll get it quilted by October.

What a fun idea! Where do you join in the swaps for the abc fabric? I haven't ever participated in something like that, but would like to.
