I think I can. I think I can.

I'm going to be repeating the Little Engine That Could's mantra religiously over the next few weeks while I shed blood, sweat and tears... trying to make a quilt for Jackson. (You thought I was going to say something about pregnancy or labor, didn't you. :) Why I decided to wait until three weeks before his due date to begin cutting fabric, I'm not quite sure. But maybe having to update everyone I know on it's progress now will make me get to work. I picked out all of the fabric in November, washed it all in December, and finally pressed it all a couple of days ago. My progress so far isn't something to be very proud of. Now if Nate ever gets home today with my chalk pencil, I can start measuring and cutting the patchwork pieces.

Here are a couple pics of all of the fabric (a la Amy Butler).
And here is what it should look like when it's finished, but with my fabrics of course.
Wish me luck!
