Please tell me . . .

I am currently working on the "string quilt" which is kind of challenging time wise. Each square is paper pieced. That means that you cut a small square of "special" paper to the exact size before you line up the white piece carefully. Then you sew all the little strips from your scrape box on to make a beautiful fourth of a complete diamond. Next you meticulously and carefully remove the paper from the back without undoing any of your seams. Then you press it, hold it up and admire it before making the next of oh, say 48 of these. So . . . please tell me that if you had a little girl, this would be a wonderful gift to be given. Tell me how much fun you think all these pinks, oranges, and turquoise fabrics would be to wrap her up in and show her off. You know, tell me how adorable she would look all sleepy eyed in the crib sitting in the middle of her specially made string quilt. Ok? Thanks. It will be even prettier when quilted.

I have two girls that would be adorable and sleepy-eyed in this and hopefully one more girl yet to arrive...

Oh dear, I just voiced preference. If a boy, I WILL LOVE HIM JUST AS MUCH!

There, thought I'd better clarify. Just in case, ya know...

Jen's picked out some Amy Butler fabrics that she thinks she would like to use if she does have a girl. I wonder if I remember HOW to sew anymore!?
