This little quilt...ahh, I sure do love her.
I purchased two of Moda's "It's a Hoot" charm packs from The Fat Quarter Shop a few months ago. These adorable little squares have been patiently waiting the perfect project to come along.

I thought that white just wouldn't quite do the trick to highlight these lovely squares, so I picked out a natural unbleached cotton.

Such a soft, snugly baby quilt. It was love for sure-- and a great "first quilt" experience. I'm in for more!
Thankfully, I still have one more charm pack left. I think I might just make another one and put it on Etsy. I'll let you know if/when I ever actually do get my Etsy store up and running. I've only been talking about it for over a year now.

It is absolutely beautiful! Great job for your first one! I hope baby Crosby loves it!
