So I mentioned before that this was adapted from the “Annabel” quilt design in a special issue of <em>Quilters Newsletter. </em>But I made some changes. I used 6 prints and the chocolate brown solid. From each print I cut a 5″ square, two 2.5″ x 5″ strips, and two 2.5″ x 9″ strips. From the chocolate brown I cut six 5″ squares and 12 each of the 2 strip sizes. I also cut sashing strips in the chocolate brown that were 3.5″ wide. I actually cut several long strips, sewed them to the quilt top, and trimmed them as I went. But the overall size of the quilt top at this moment is 37″ x 27″–smaller than the normal size I’d make a baby quilt, and hopefully perfect for a stroller. I’m going to back this quilt with some flannel to make it a little softer on the baby’s side.</p> <p><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/24/jungle-quilt-pt-3/" class="more-link">Read more on Jungle Quilt Pt. 3…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=Jungle Quilt Pt. 3 - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/24/jungle-quilt-pt-3/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Jungle Quilt Pt. 3 - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/24/jungle-quilt-pt-3/" title="Jungle Quilt Pt. 3" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/24/jungle-quilt-pt-3/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/24/jungle-quilt-pt-3/" title="Jungle Quilt Pt. 3" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/24/jungle-quilt-pt-3/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/24/jungle-quilt-pt-3/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/24/jungle-quilt-pt-3/&media=&description=Jungle Quilt Pt. 3','MyWindow','width=600,height=400'); return false;" style="cursor:pointer;" target="_blank" id="pinterest-share"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="masonr"> <div class="post post-8270 type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-movies-tv tag-movies">   <div class="clear"></div> <div class="frame"> <div class="title-wrap"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/22/im-very-excited-about-this/" title="I’m Very Excited About This">I’m Very Excited About This</a></h2> <div class="title-meta"> <span><i class="fa fa-user"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/author/admin/" title="Posts by jackie" rel="author">jackie</a></span> <span><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/08/22/">August 22, 2011</a></span> <span class="categories"><i class="fa fa-align-justify"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/movies-tv/" rel="category tag">Movies and TV</a></span> <span class="tags"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/movies/" rel="tag">movies</a></span> </div> </div> <div class="post-content"> <p><iframe width="590" height="375" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8F1wrDsUqYc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>I have no idea what this movie is about, but it has 3 of my favorite people in it.

They were delicious, I think I may be addicted to toffee bits in my cookies.</p> <p>The original recipe used peanut butter chips and more pretzel M&Ms, but I adjusted to what Adam and I both like. He actually HATES the pretzel M&Ms, and neither of us like peanut butter chips. I set aside half the batter for him before adding the pretzel bits, and that worked out fine.
