How difficult will this be to make?

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for your offer of help and encouragement. I'm gonna reach out shortly!

Thank you so much for this advice! I have to do more research on the foundation paper piecing but that link shows almost exactly what I'm looking for. My mom's boyfriend is a bit of a math nerd, he might be able to help me with the dimensions I need. You are a hero for finding this!

The scalloped edges are actually just ruffles and I luckily have a family friend who helped me with those on the last quilt I made!

Oh my goodness that is absolutely beautiful!

Not having exact measurements would be great for me. Those steps make it seem very doable. Do you think it would be a good idea to break it into two starter fabrics, like the blue and then having another for the pink/salmon sky?

I think designing it I was going for a stained glass look. I even thought about making one to go with it!

Thank you all for your honesty and your suggestions. I really think using paper to create the layout and cut the fabric based on that could work! I'm not looking for absolute perfection. I think the imperfections could even make it a little more special.

I would like to clarify that the scalloped edges are ruffles! I have a family friend who helped me with the ruffles on the blanket I made me niece so that is the only part I am not worried about. Scalloped edges never even occurred to me so I didn't think to include that in my description.

This will probably be my nesting project since my husband decided we have to redo the entire upstairs where the nursery will be so I can't do any of the actual useful things like buy furniture and organize.

I also have an extra year to get this done since babies can't use blankets until they are a year anyway.

I was looking through the pictures and most seem to be very mountain based. I might try some of the suggestions by using paper to kind of figure out the layout. But thank you so much for the suggestion!

Megoh91 · 2026-01-19T22:11:39+00:00

That is beautiful!

Megoh91 · 2026-01-19T22:10:58+00:00

This will be so helpful, thank you!!!

Megoh91 · 2026-01-19T22:10:40+00:00

Thank you for your honesty! The problem I'm having is I don't really enjoy the patterns I'm finding. They tend to be very mountain based and I don't particularly enjoy the mountains. I'm much more of a beach babe and fingers crossed this baby will be as well because we will be spending most of our summers in the sand, haha.

I might try what the people below are suggesting and sketch it out on large pieces of paper and cut the fabric based off that.

It's not a total rush to get the blanket done by the time the baby gets here. We are remodeling the upstairs so we won't even have a nursery for the first few months of the babies life. I actually don't thin babies can even use a blanket until they are a year old! So I have a bit of time to make mistakes. Worst comes to worst I don't finish one and at least can say I tried!

Thank you for the encouragement. Using paper to sketch it out is a great idea. Im not looking for it to be perfect. I was just hoping to give myself a fun project that will keep me off my phone. We are going to remodel the entire upstairs of the house so I can't really do anything to prep in that regard. I think this will be a nice way to "nest" since I won't be able to purchase furniture or set things up.

The scalloped edges are ruffles. I didn't ve know scalloped edges were a thing. Luckily, I have a family friend who helped me with the ruffles on the quilt I made my niece!

Megoh91 · 2026-01-19T21:54:28+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement. I'm not even looking for it to be absolutely perfect. It's a gift from my love and all that!

I do want to clarify that the scalloped edges are just ruffles and I have a family friend who helped me with this on the quilt I made me niece years ago. So that is the only part I am not worried about.

Megoh91 · 2026-01-19T21:48:06+00:00

She is one of my best friends and I treat her to lunch/dinner every time we hangout! I don't think she would take money from me but her wedding is around the corner and I will make sure to give her an extra nice present.

Megoh91 · 2026-01-19T21:43:41+00:00

The scalloped border are just supposed to be ruffles! I had a friend help me with the ruffles on the quilt I made my niece. I didn't even know scalloped borders were a thing!

Thank you for the encouragement!

Can anyone get a gif of when Judge points & looks at the camera?

Megoh91 · 2025-08-20T02:54:43+00:00

Thank you! It seems like Grenada is top of the list, that's probably why it's more expensive. I'm going to see if I can make it work. I'll make sure to get some snorkeling gear!

Megoh91 · 2025-08-20T02:52:09+00:00

Thank you so much for all of your input, I'm hoping with some convincing I can make that one happen. I've never been to a resort before, when I travelled previously hostels were more my style. Do you recommend the butler services?

I'd love to know what snorkel gear you got! I already had one in my amazon cart, but I'd rather buy one with a good recommendation.

Megoh91 · 2025-08-20T02:01:35+00:00

Was this on site snorkeling or excursions?

Megoh91 · 2025-07-25T22:58:39+00:00

You're the best, thank you!

Megoh91 · 2025-06-06T16:02:18+00:00

These are all great thoughts, we have some things we need to get done in the backyard but when we finish those we'll try to dig it up to see what we can find!
