Update on Baby Quilt

So I have not gotten as far as I had originally hoped with this quilt, my morning sickness is definitely getting the best of me. But I did just receive a 50% off coupon for JoAnn's Fabric so I am going to pick up the backing of the quilt. I also finally sat down and tried to find a pattern which suited us and our nursery theme. Cheryl even went to the library and picked me up some quilting books to look through. I found this adorable modern take on a traditional quilt and I couldn't be more excited to get started.



I am thinking about picking up that minky fabric for the backing, its so soft and snuggling I really think the baby would like it and could even use it as he/she grows up. What worries me about this particular pattern is the binding is hand made. I had originally planned on using a satin binding but I loved how clean and unique this binding turned out so I am going to give it a try. Worse comes to worse I can always take it off and use the satin binding. I really need to find one more statement sock monkey fabric, I wish they weren't so hard to come by.
