Remember this little guy born back at the end of January? I made Gavin a quilt when he was born. It was my first baby quilt, my second-ever completed quilt. Gavin is the son of a Dancing Banana, the silly name for the closest of all close high school friends. The Bananas and I have called ourselves that since our sophomore year of high school. (The seven of us are still friends, stay in frequent contact and will buy anything banana-themed for one another.) Before that, we were the Oatmeal gang. (It’s best if you don’t ask questions.)
I was tickled pink when Gavin came over with his daddy, Mat, of whom the baby boy is the splitting image. Gavin came, roll-y thighs and all, with his baby quilt in tow. So incredibly cute this eight-month old is – I didn’t want to put him down or hand him over to anyone else. Gavin makes Lindsay feel maternal.
My second-ever baby quilt was gifted to my cousin, Marissa, while I was home. Marissa is due with her third child but first girl! There is no baby yet. Baby Girl Hanson is due to arrive on October 3rd. I thought the pink might be a bit lacking in the hand-me-downs from Drew and Logan and I knew another baby quilt project would be fun to tackle.
I had promised to show Karen this quilt before I left Dawson … and forgot. Here it is for show-and-tell in photo form. Know that it is soft, flannel and the backing is made from pink minky fabric (like this) … and that I’m short and unable to get the whole quilt in the picture. But you get the point.
