My sister had a baby in February. I wasn't sure what to give/make/get for her. It's taken me this long to finally figure it out. I made her a quilt. Surprise huh? LOL Anyway, I got a tumbler (trapezoid) die that works in my sizzix so I didn't have to sit there and cut out endless trapezoids. They're a bit smaller than the template I made. The template made a 5" finished tumbler. The die makes a 4" finished tumbler. The corners match up SO MUCH better when you use something that's uniformly cut! I was able to cut all the tumblers for this quilt in under 30 min! Yes, that right, one episode of Dora!
Anyway, I wanted to do pink for her since Piper is her first girl. I found the great fabrics at my favorite store- Joann's. I love the combination of pink and brown and white too. I hesitated with the white but I think it works.

Piper's burp cloth made from scraps from her quilt.. The back is white flannel.
I love making baby quilts and stuff. They go so fast and always turn out adorable. :)
