Inspired By A Quilt

Remember V's quilt?

Oh that quilt was about the end of this at the time pregnant momma.
I may have said a few mother of pearls through clenched teeth and given that little quilt the bird a couple times in the process of making it...

But I love my lil sistah like crazy, so I pushed through.
I had to make her son a quilt.

And she loves that quilt like crazy.
Smart girl.

So here we are 8 months later, and

V turned one last week.

ONE! She needs to have another one for me soon.
I promise I will make him or her another quilt.

Any way, that little quilt was the catalyst for his fabulous birthday party theme.

Really? A quilt?

I know, but it worked.
Easy, peasy, lemon squeezey.

You just throw that quilt down as a table cloth...

make an appliqued fabric covered canvas...
whip up some coordinating cupcake flags with some toothpicks and double sided tape...

buy a cute mini cake stand at Hobby Lobby for $10...

make a pennant banner with the extra fabric and some ribbon...

hang up some cute baby pictures with mini blue clothes pins...

dress the birthday boy himself in an appliqued ONE shirt...

and party like it was 1999!
(I graduated high school in 1999. Crazy huh?!)

Happy Birthday Vincent from your favorite auntie!
