How to Make an Owl Quilt for Your Baby to Be: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you missed last week’s pregnancy post, the kiddos had a blast painting my pregnant belly!<\/a>\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 is owl-ready loved by all and we had\u00a0fun celebrating and preparing for his arrival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I am super envious of all the “Pottery Barn” look-alike nurseries, we tend to take a more home-made approach to life.\u00a0 Honestly I wanted to make a “Parent Gift for Your Baby to Be<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had an idea for an owl quilt in my head and started gathering a stack of fabrics. My 6 year old was VERY interested in what I was doing, so I handed her AND my husband the stack of fabrics and an owl template and asked them to make me some owls.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They made owl after owl together on the bedroom floor.\u00a0My husband isn’t a quilter, but from their giggles, they were having a blast. I left the room because I knew my ideas were TOTALLY different than theirs and I wanted to give them some control over the project without my supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n

Several hours later, they had made 12 owls, having added glasses and horns to some of them (their ideas!).\u00a0They gave their stack to me and I got busy sewing and ironing!<\/p>\n\n\n

When the squares were complete, my tot helped pin them together (we really wanted the quilt to be a family project and he is great at pinning!)<\/p>\n\n\n

And then, I assembled the quilt and VIOLA, baby #3 now has something very special, very unique and made with TONS of love by his family.<\/p>\n\n\n
