A goal I set after Jared was born was to make a quilt for the next baby. And unlike most of my goals which I forget or exchange for different goals/priorities, I actually did it!!!
It was a simple start (no cutting and it is tied, not hand quilted or anything), but I feel wonderful about this!
It took me three months of mostly procrastination, but some definitely some work and perseverance, but I changed this:
(pre-cut jelly roll strips)Into this:

Ta da!
Sewn, basted, tied and bound! Special thanks to the ladies at the fabric store for answering my dumbest of questions. Also to Lauren who gave me the motivation to finish it!
I can hardly believe I am learning all these traditional homemaker skills. Adding to the stereotype every day!

Great Job!!! I'm glad you finished it before your baby came!
That's beautiful! I have a bunch of fabric to make Miles a quilt for his "big boy" bed...which just needs to happen sometime before the baby comes in April. I hope I can actually do it!
Wow, I love the colors.
It's so cute Kelsey! I love the colors! So what's a "jelly roll" of fabric? Cuz I definitely like this idea of not having to cut out tons fabric. :)
Groovy! Way to go! I like the words you used "adding to the stereotype"!
