Happy Saturday to Us

We had a little BBC drama marathon day at our house.  Stina had never seen Elizabeth Gaskill's Cranford and Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, so we started with those ones and then, just because it's so good, we watched Elizabeth Gaskill's North and South. It was a BBC feast.  If you haven't seen them then you're missing out on the finer things of life. :) 
In between the movies I accompanied a girl for her vocal festival, helped clean the Columbus Temple with Stina and managed to finish the baby boy quilt front, so all in all it was a fabulous day.

My inspiration for this quilt was this scrap from a quiet book I made a while back.  I always thought it was cute, but wasn't sure what to do with it. 

 I made up this quilt pattern to accommodate the size of the giraffe scraps.  Sashing seemed like the best way to do this.  I'm thrilled with how it turned out.  I know it was a success, because Nathan loves to point to all of the animals.
