As a gift for my baby's first birthday, I received the ENTIRE collection of Joel Dewberry's Heirloom Fat quarters!! So pretty! Anyone who has a baby knows that first birthday is mostly for the parents, and frankly surviving the first year deserves a gift.
So I had a great idea! One side of the quilt will have something clever on it, appliqued and patchworked... here is my sketch!

| Elizabeth Hartman walks you through creating this chart, I think it would have taken me 2 weeks w/o her instructions, instead it took about 20 min. |
The OTHER SIDE will just be a beautiful patchwork of these spectacular fabrics! I'm going to make the patchwork like the front, and then do the letters as the back, this way I can work both sides at the same time! Hopefully there will be enough left of my 26 fat quarters to make a scrappy binding.
I was so excited at my plan I got cutting 5.5" squares immediately. I decided to use the Ruby and Sapphire colorways, saving the Citrine for a lovely throw for my bedroom.
mmmm pretty squares.
