As I mentioned before......We are going to be adding another little girl to our family this summer!

I can't wait.

I have already finished the nursery and occasionally I find myself sitting in there just soaking it up.

I want to share with you a few projects I have been working on for the room,

So, without further adieu....

Project Nursery

Perhaps you remember my first nursery project that I showed you a month ago.

I didn't create a tutorial for the bumper pad, but here are few links for great tutorials that I followed:

Bumper #1

Bumper #2

I was terrified to create my own tutorial for it.  Maybe next time ;)

 For the quilt though, I did take some pictures along the way and here is what I did!

 1- I cut out 48 5"x5" squares out of some of favorite prints from the shop.

2-Then I cut some 5"x1.5" white strips to sew in between each square.

 3. I sewed all 8 rows, and then added a longer (however wide the quilt is) 1.5" white strip in between in each row. And a strip running down each side.

 If I knew how to quilt on my own sewing machine, that would be awesome.

But I don't, so I sent it away to the quilters!

I backed it with Amy Butler's Full Moon Polka Dot in Lime.

I just LOVE how it turned out!

I just might wrap myself up in it. (Darn, I should have made it bigger)

Over the next few weeks I will post the other projects and mini tutorials for them. 

So stay tuned for more from...
