Baby Quilt ... MoJo Back? ... Ahhh ...

Hello! Gosh, it's been a while! Well, I totally lost my MoJo over the summer and spent alot of time reading, so it was a nice break! But now it is time to get back to some quilting ... i've purchased lots of new fabrics, have tons of projects i want to do and so my MoJo is back :O)

Here is some fabric I purchased to make a baby quilt for my girlfriends first grandbaby ... her name will be Ellie when she arrives in January ... I am going to use the Summer Squares pattern from Moda Bake Shop and plan to applique ELLIE in the big white strip and hopefully it will turn out ... I have never appliqued before, so this will be a first ... if you have any tips, PLEASE feel free to leave them!

Hope everyone is having a great fall and can you believe that Christmas is less than 2 months away? WOO HOO!!!
