New year, new project #1

While I work on quilting Kevin and Colby's wedding quilt, I am also starting work on my first new project of the year-- a happy, girly baby quilt!

The nursery is going to be fuchsia and grey, so that is what I'm going with for baby's quilt. I'm using a pattern from Elizabeth Hartman called the "Birthday Cake Quilt." I think the colors really lend themselves to this modern quilt design.

So far I've managed to complete most of the cutting. Once I get to a good stopping point on the wedding quilt, I'll start the piecing on this new project. The baby shower is in just three weeks, so I need to get crackin'!

Edited to Add: It's not me! The baby quilt is for a friend's baby. :)
