I have a baby shower later this summer and am in need of a quick baby quilt I can whip up. I have sevveral tried and true go-to patterns but I’m in the mood for something different this time.

I was going through my quilt books and came across the Two Timer pattern in the first Stripology Mixology book. Let’s pull some fabrics out and make a block and see what we think.

Does anyone else love these kind of busy work jobs? This feels… dare I say it? 🤭 Relaxing to me! Cutting up 10,000 feet of cotton rope, bundling it up and packaging up your kit orders is how I wind down at night while watching YouTube videos. 🤪 I’m just weird like that, I guess. 🤷🏽‍♀️ But anyway, if you want to make rope bowls with us in my new course comment “CG ROPE” below and I’ll send you the course and kit info! If you already ordered a kit they all shipped out yesterday so it’s on it’s way to ya! 🥳🙌🏽
