This much is certain: I have an entirely new level of respect for etsy shop owners and craft show showers. I've been making bibs for a few days and while I'm really pleased with how they turned out, making ten of the same item just did absolutely nothing for me creatively. I'm a "once I've got it figured out I'm bored so let's move on to the next thing" kind of girl. I'm excited to get on with the gift giving because that will be the best part.
That said, did you all have favorite bibs for your kids when they were babies? I did. I always reached for the same ones first and dreaded the times when only the too-small or too-thin or too-ugly ones were left. That should not be the case for Miss Amanda and Master Beau's mamas. These are made from JCasa's "Best Bib" pattern and they are kind of awesome. I made the boy versions second and lengthened the tie to 40", but other than that I generally follwed the rules.
So Miss Amanda's gift should finally be in the mail today, and Master Beau needs another little something. I was thinking maybe one of these or one of these. Any other recent tutorials you've seen that are just begging to be tried out?

Those bibs are cute. I love the Moda quilt. It's just beyond cute. The little taggie toy is adorable too.
I saw this the other day and am considering making it.
Can't wait to see what you make.

I'm leaning toward the Moda quilt, too, although the thought of appliquing all those letters. . . I think I'll have to print them and see how big the curves are.
