I started a quilt a long time ago. It used last years blocks at block lotto to create Old McDonald's Farm. I started, but fell behind and then lost interest. Those that did finish them had really cool quilts. I recently took out the blocks I had done.
Okay, these two blocks put together will make a cute baby quilt. I needed more blocks.
Slowly I sewed more blocks.
I was thankful when I had enough snail trails. I was getting tired of them.
Next up, flower blocks.
At this point I'm thinking....more flower blocks. How boring for me.
But what if I add something?
Something I have never made before.
Then I wouldn't be bored.
A sheep from the book Farm Girl Vintage.
And baby sheep!
Or as tractor joe reminded me, they are called lambs.
I was way more excited about this project with sheep and was excited to sew the remaining flowers I needed. That's when I started called it the sheep quilt.
This morning I put it all together.
My cousin Gwen has a granddaughter due this month. This will be her baby quilt!

Wow! The addition of the sheep makes this quilt stunning!! It is adorable.
Awesome quilt top!!!!
It is wonderful! Love the sheep and what a very lucky girl who will be the new owner.
How fun! Thank you for taking us step by step through your thought process. I have a ton of blocks from projects I started and then got bored with. I'll have to pull them out and get creative. Thanks for the inspiration!
Terrific quilt! You are so creative at answering that "what if" question! (Or maybe those sheep are just farther away :) lol)
Oh my gosh! What an awesome transformation. I loved seeing the progressing of blocks from one block to the addition of the flower and the snails trail and then your sheep. It is amazing! Now I don't feel so bad for some of my projects that are "marinating".
adorable
I love lambs and love this quilt!!
