Robots Gone Wild

Robots Gone Wild Quilt
I will soon be a grandmother.  My Courtney and Vanessa are having a child.  Of course you know that a quilt was in the the making.  I had this creative idea that I wanted words on the quilt and wanted it to be simple.  I had the top completed and  waiting to be quilted.   I had the quilt motif ready and then walked into a new store  called  Notice and found the a baby bowl,  fork,  spoon and sippy cup with a robot theme.  It just so happened that I had fabric that was a perfect match.  I bought the items and rushed home and made a whole cloth baby quilt.   You would think that using "cheater fabric" would be quick and easy but it took more time than I thought because I stitched around each robot.    However,  it turned out great and now have  a really cool baby shower gift.  Oh by the way I did not tell you that the Baby Shower is today.  Wow completed just in time.

 I also tracked down a Boppy  pillow form and covered it with the Robot fabric.   Now you ask what is a Boppy pillow,  which is the samething I asked when I saw it on the registry list at Baby's RUS.    It is probably better to show you.  After I made it I did not like how the fabric laid and I took it apart.  Could not restructure in time for the baby shower so I will just keep it in my house for when the baby comes to visit.

I will still complete my other quilt  hopefully before the baby is born in July.
