April Shower - for a baby.

I have been invited to a Baby Shower in April (although it is postponed now do to COVID-19). When I received the invitation in the mail, I went to see how much fabric I had left from this previous baby quilt. I made this baby quilt about a year ago for a friend who was going to a baby shower. My friend was very happy with how this quilt turned out.

In addition, I had sewn these burp cloths from some of the leftover fat quarters. I thought they made a nice addition to a baby gift and they went together quite quickly.

So when I got the box out that contained the leftover fabric, there was this cute panel. I really didn't want to just quilt the panel and be done with it. So I did a search to try to add some piecing to the panel. I found this free download at Missouri Star Quilt Company and pieced the top using this pattern. I did have to order the little animals panel, plus, I ordered a little more yardage because I would like to sew a Divided basket, also.

So there you have it, for my April OMG at Elm Street Quilts, I'm going to choose to finish this baby quilt. I do already have it basted so I should be able to accomplish this in the next couple weeks.

Hopefully, they can reschedule the baby shower in May because I believe the baby is due in June. But if the shower is canceled completely, I will just either hand deliver the quilt, or mail it to the soon-to-be Grandmother, who is my husband's cousin.
