Baby A's Quilt

I got to meet Baby A and her mom yesterday. I brought home a bundle of clothes and some ideas on how to turn them into a quilt.

I also brought home three pieces of material to use to reinforce the blocks. You can't tell from this picture but the white has white stars. There are several of the garments that have stars - nice!

And, this is what's left of all those cute little baby clothes after a few hours with a ruler and rotary cutter.

The final count is 14 6 x 6 singles, 5 6 x 6 doubles - meaning I was able to get two squares from one piece, 8 4 x 4's which includes a couple pockets from the jeans, 4 2 x 2's and 3 larger pieces that will fit in some how.

We are aiming for twin sized quilt so we need 50 6 x 6 blocks. Each will have a two inch border in one of the backing colors. Obviously we are a few block short so Mom is looking for a few more pieces to add to the pile. And, we are going to use a few blanks (just the backing material) to round out the project.

There is a lot more work to get these squares appliqued onto the backing material but it is already looking good, right?
