It seems like everyone in Cairo is pregnant these days so I've made a third baby quilt ahead of the baby shower next weekend. The mother-to-be is a bit picky so hopefully this will live up to her standards! I used Cluck Cluck Sew's tutorial for the strip and flip baby quilt since I needed a quick pattern due to being out of town for the past week. Luckily there was an Egyptian holiday on Thursday and I got an unexpected day off today due to all the rioting that's going on near my place of work. Oh Egypt...I think this is the fourth or fifth extra day off due to unsafe security situations in my time here, not to mention all the countless times we've had an early release or delayed start.
I couldn't decide which fabric to use for binding at first. I have a ton of brown fabric that I don't go through that quickly, but I thought it made the quilt look heavy.
I think it turned out quite well! One of these days I'll have to start trying to use free motion quilting...
