Another baby shower! This time the theme was Mickey Mouse. There are so many cute Mickey Mouse prints on the market that I couldn't make up my mind which one to use, so I used several. I like that it was basically primary colors (recommended for new babies), and the fact that it was an easy-to-make square pattern was icing on the cake.
Included with the gift were several burp cloths made from a simple pattern given to me by good friend and fellow quilter Rhea. These are so quick to sew and the perfect size. I made these out of 3 pieces of flannel, double stitched around the peanut shape, then cut fringe approximately every half inch. I made these baby friendly by washing them in Dreft before giving away. This way the fringe is ruffled and any fabric stiffeners or chemicals are removed. Mama-to-be Melissa was so happy with them she asked for a dozen more.
Also included with my gift were a couple of books, a crocheted afghan (bright yellow to go with the Mickey Mouse theme colors), and a plush Mickey. Melissa and Baby Mikey had a wonderful shower, full of gifts, good food, and lots of laughter. Due in early August, she has just enough time to prepare for his arrival.
Your beautiful quilts are awesome! Thanks for your kind words left on my blog!
