. . . ferris bueller's day OUT! . . .

. . . yes, OUT! . . .

. . . something tells me the cheesy grin

has been wiped off this cute face today . . .

. . . especially after one night in the hospital already . . .

. . . on pitocin and off pitocin

and now back on again . . .

. . . so while she's contracting

and counting the minutes

until they crank up the epidural . . .

. . . let's talk about her quilt! . . .

. . . the blocks went together like a dream . . .

. . . probably the easiest

~ yet with the most bang for the buck ~

that i've ever made . . .

. . . because hey! look . . .

. . . no half-square triangle points to match . . .

{more like one-third square triangles ~ but i'm no good at math!}

. . . also none of the bulk in the corners

usually associated with

matching {or perhaps unmatching ~ as they sometimes are} points . . .

. . . and i'm always thrilled

when i see a quilt i've pieced

after it's been so skillfully machine quilted . . .

. . . i'm a big fan

of using up every scrap possible

on the back . . .

. . . even though sometimes

it looks exactly like i was trying to

use up every scrap possible

on the back! . . .

. . . and you can't have a proper quilt

without a proper quilt name . . .

. . . i've explained this before,

but only my family thinks it's funny . . .

. . . brief recap: amanda had a baby in may.

his name is cameron.

amelia doesn't have a name for her baby yet

or simply won't tell us what it is.

hence ~ amanda started calling amelia's baby ferris ~

you know ~ as in cameron and ferris ~ bffs . . .

{please don't tell me you've never seen ferris bueller's day off.

if so ~ i weep for the future! go ahead and youtube that}

. . . i digress . . .

. . . so ~~~ now we wait . . .

. . . but, hopefully, not too much longer,

before we find out

what tyler and amelia name their baby . . .

. . . not that it really matters . . .

. . . i'll have a hard time calling him anything but ferris . . .
