Baby Quilts Anyone?

I decided today after my midwife appointment that I need a project to help the time fly! I still have four weeks left, but with orders from the midwife to "take it easy" I need something nice and loooooong and draaaaaaawn out so that I can stop thinking about how uncomfortable I am.

I had decided to hold off on making quilts until after baby arrived. I still have child number 3's quilt to do, and then of course, a PINK! quilt to make. I changed my mind though and have decided to tackle with full gusto child #3's quilt.

The fabric is in the dryer right now and then I can start cutting it out. I will have to post pictures of the fabric tomorrow, and I'll give you a little hint about the pattern.

There are appliqued sail boats and ric-rac. It is super duper cute, and little Ted will LOVE it!

This will be the fastest quilt I have ever made if in fact I can accomplish my goal. My first quilt was done in just over 4.5 years for my son, it was supposed to be ready at his birth! My second quilt, you can see here was done in about a year start to finish.

So, what do you think? Can I do it? Can I accomplish this goal? Only time will tell. I have FOUR weeks!
