Paul: Hey babe, do you have a quilt?
Me: Yes, I have several.
Paul: I need a baby quilt.
Me: For?
Paul: Bella's (not her real name) baby boy
Me: When is the baby shower?
Paul: That was last month.
Me: So when is the baby due?
Paul: Baby boy Ryan (not his real name) was born on Easter.
Me: And you are telling me now???
Paul: Just got the email.
Silence. Sheepish Grin.
Paul: I figured, you'd have a quilt on tap.
Me: Which may not be suitable for a baby, or for a boy.
And even if the baby does not mind hot pink butterflies and polka dots, I am sure his parents will definitely be averse to a girly quilt.
Me: Can you tell me anything about the colors?
Paul: Blue, Green and Gray
Me: Let me check. I have Jack. It is Blue and Green but it also has these beige/gold fabrics.
Paul: Let me see the back.
Paul: Yeah, this works.
I was not so sure. I wanted something more baby-appropriate, in the chosen colors - blue, green and gray.
I wanted to make a new quilt. But it had to be quick.
Me: Well, since the baby is already here, when are you going to give the quilt.
Paul: Oh, when she comes in next.
Me: That may not be for 3 months.
Paul: No, she will stop by to check on things every couple of weeks.
Me: Let me make a new quilt for baby Ryan.
Paul: Oh ok.
Paul: I got a card. Will you sign it.
Me: Sure. I made a few burp cloths and put it in this basket to go along with the quilt.
Paul: Oh babe, you are the best.
Me: I know. But it is so much better when you say it.
And here is a picture of the baby boy.
Oh Boy!!! Wish I could kiss those cheeks.
Such a cute boy, I said.
Such a cute quilt, said Paul.
And we lived happily ever after (or till the next argument.)
What have you been making? I'd love to hear from you.
I will be linking with all my favorite linky parties, see sidebar.
