I ordered the Plum Sweet Jelly Roll and a matching charm pack when it was the DD recently. It has not arrived yet but when it does we will use the fabric to make a baby quilt for my niece who turns 1 in April. I like that the fabric is very feminine but not baby-cutesy. My plan is to use the JR strips to frame some charm squares and just sew that together. Not the most elaborate thing but as they say, done is better than perfect and I think it is doable.
I also considered doing the charm pack with JR strips of one fabric on the top and bottom then a different fabric JR strip on the sides then the block next to it would be rotated 90° so the longer strips would be top and bottom and the shorter strips would be on the sides. I wanted to see an example of what that would look like but I don't know if that layout has a name?
I'm also aspiring to make a fabric wall hanging for his room that looks like this:
I'm not sure how well I'll do with either of these projects as the loss of sleep is making me feel very fuzzy. We'll push through though.
Before I forget to tell you...

We love him that much too. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your precious little guy with us. Sometimes I miss having a baby to love on...then the 3 monsters come running in, lol. I will settle for you sharing Sawyer, and get my fix vicariously through you.
