Typically when I find out if we're having a boy or a girl I go straight to work and have a quilt done for the baby within a week or two. This time is quite a different story. I actually found out early what we were having, because of the required chromosomal testing (since I'm over 35). I've known since the end of May that we're having a boy, but as you well know, I did very little sewing at all this past summer. I'm now 32 weeks along and have finally finished the quilt.
Even though I couldn't get my act together to get his quilt done, we're excited about this little guy. Little Lady in particular cares quite a bit about this one. She already tells everyone she has 3 brothers. She is very proud of her status as the only girl. In her primary class at church they had a lesson on families. They were given something to give to each of their siblings and she pretty much demanded a third one stating that Baby Matthew needed one as well. That's actually how her teachers found out I was pregnant, because they couldn't figure out who Matthew was.
This was a really fun quilt to put together. The design for the quilting is a new one to me: Loopy Clouds. It's an easy design that flows a lot like mixing open flowers and loops. You can see it a bit better on the back.
Now we just have to wait a few more weeks for him to come and use it.
Congratulation;)
