Gosh, that is a lot of projects, Marci! But they all look so great. I really like your Bottled Rainbows blocks. I used that Riley Blake cars fabric for several things for Max's nursery. So cute for a little boy. Congratulations on reaching full-term, too! Not much longer!!

Beautiful projects, Marci!
I'm always in awe of pregnancies that make it to term -- as I delivered early, at 34wks -- so good work!
I think the fat eight bundle will make a wonderful swoon! I'm mixing up fabrics for mine -- as I don't have enough to make each block from just 2 colors, and it's going fine! With all the fabrics cut up in advance, it takes me about an hour to make a block!

Love everything you are working on! Can't pick a favorite although those Bottled Rainbows are calling to me. :) Congratulations on getting to 37.5 weeks - we all can't wait to welcome your new little guy into the world. :)
