DAY 1- Starting on the QUILT

I'm so excited. Last Wednesday night we started Channing's quilt. Randee, Brenda and I met at the Club House out at the lake and we went through all of the quilt squares Channing and I received for her 100 Good Wishes Quilt. We also looked at some patterns and talked about what I wanted. I found it very hard to pick a pattern since there are soo many squares. I dont want to cut them down too much as I dont want to loose any pattern.....but I think we have the perfect pattern now!!
Thank you everybody for helping make this special memory for Channing and myself. We will treausre this quilt FOREVER!!

We will be meeting this Wednesday to finalize the pattern and start doing a layout. It will be probably a 5 hour shift and then we do have a FULL day planned next weekend and the sewing will begin!!

Next I have to pick out the fabric for the backing of the quilt and the boarder. So I will have to make a visit to the fabric store and spend HOURS deciding (but I have an idea). I cant wait to see the quilt all done!! I will keep posting pictures as we go, but the most exciting picture will be once Channing is all wrapped up in it!!

P.S- We will be making 2 quilts. Both quilts will have a piece of everyone's square, but one will be a bigger quilt for when Channing is older and the other one will be a quilt that she can use everyday now (stroller, crib, China, ect...).
