Getting crafty

I have finished the color wheel quilt, adding bias tape all around the edges.  It is looking a little wrinkled in this picture, since my son hates to put the quilt down.  He carries it everywhere with him.

I have also been working on cloth diapers recently.  I picked up some hemp/cotton fleece from The Hemp Traders and altered a pattern I found online.  Making your own cloth diapers is easy, even for the novice sewer.  There are dozens of tutorials online to show you step by step what you need to do.  The first ones I made, when I was pregnant, were made from flannel and stuffed with Gerber prefolds.  While very inexpensive to make, about $40 for 3 dozen, they deteriorated rather quickly.  Especially with having to be washed every other day.  The hemp diapers are more absorbent, no stuffing required, and will last longer.  In addition I bought a snap press and snaps, so I didn't have to worry about pinning my squirming son.  My husband is thrilled with them stating "they are just as easy as disposable diapers".
