I have a certain number of babies looming on the horizon - gotta love that imagery - and it seemed important to learn how to make a quick, nice baby gift. I tried out a bib pattern from www.jcasa.etsy.com, and I am now officially a bibthusiast.

There’s something really satisfying about a project of this size. It’s a bigger canvas than I usually have for my eye masks, but still far from being cumbersome.

Okay, bibs. I think we can make this work.

I can’t help it. I just love hexagons!

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

In addition to the super rad vintage hex quilt I picked up while thrifting a while ago, I also found a bag of 106 canvassy white squares for $3. (This is a huge deal in my neck of the woods. Thrift stores around here aren’t always very thrifty.) So I’m using them to back my little hexy flowers.

I really had no intention of making a hexagon quilt. Ever. In my life. But I guess Goodwill decided it was meant to be?
