Baby Quilts

With 5 friends having babies between now and late next spring, I've been thinking what to give the new mothers. 3 of them this is their first baby, 2 this is the second or third. But I'm thinking baby quilts like this one I made for Tyler when he was just a few months old:




I made it for him because we had no one give him a baby quilt or afghan when he was born (and Jessie received 3 quilts and 7 afghans all handmade). So I made it for him so he would have at least 1. Everyone gave us boy clothes instead, since all we had was pink.


So leftover firetruck fabric from Tyler's quilt:

will be turned into at least 2 baby quilts;

And this John Deere fabric will turn into a quilt similar to this one (since no one in our house is a John Deere fan):

Of course, I then had to hunt through my stash for fabric for quilts for the little girls being born:






The only reason I'm thinking of this now (when I should be thinking Christmas presents and finishing up what is already started and almost done) is 1 of the showers is next weekend:)
