Quilt As You Go.........

Have you ever done "quilt-as-you-go?"  I have done several log cabins, nine patch's and love the process.  When you are done sewing your quilting is done also.  This is a different take on quilt as you go and I really like the effect.  Depending on how you place the blocks, several patterns here.  Would be a quick and easy baby quilt, tho I would make the fabrics strips narrower for a baby quilt.  Happy Thursday!

Mobile.........

Granddaughter had seen a mobile she liked for the baby's crib, well really it will hang from the ceiling over the crib.  She didn't want anything attached to the crib, smart Mama she is.  I made stuffed safari animals, attached them to dowel rods with small twine and added some primary color balls.  The one she really liked was much smaller, like baby safari animals (esty for sale $182.00!).  I tried to downsize them but once you had sewn the smaller 3" animals they were impossible to turn right side out, for me anyway.  Sooo this is what I wound up with, and I told her my feelings will not be hurt if they don't use it.  She assures me it is great, but as you know Granddaughters are sweet that way.
