A New Quilt Project

Our friends' daughter (and husband) are going to have a baby. I found out that the colors of the babys' room are grey and white. I had seen a quilt I loved, and finally found the pattern for it. I want to do mine like this one, but with grey and white.  I cut out all the five inch squares today. I thought I still had to get white and white thread, but I already did get some. 

 This is the pattern, and you can find it here.  They're having a boy. I want to get it embroidered with his initial, too.

The T-Shirt Quilt Is Done

The finished t-shirt quilt! We had Eons' graduation party last weekend, and I gave it to him. I think he loves it. He's been sleeping with it. And, has since then been sewing himself! We went to a Quilt show yesterday, and he bought a panel of fabric he wanted to sew into a wall hanging. (I will have to upload pictures of that later.)  I don't know if I mentioned before, it measured 101 inches long (before the binding).  It's huge... 
And this is a dishcloth I knitted for the people we had to his party. (The only people/friends we know here.) The wife and son moved here and I wanted to give her a little housewarming gift. She had said how much crap they have, so I thought I would give her something she needs/can use... A dishcloth.
And a bottle of dishsoap. With a tage that says "I hope you have 'Joy' in your new home". I don't remember where I saw this idea.  I just made a little tag to tie onto it..

 Close-up of the tag. I just printed it out on my printer with cardstock, and used a punch...
