It's going to a friend of mine, and the biggest hindrance was that I didn't feel like dragging the big roll of batting out. Not today! Got it out, and got 5 quilts paired with batting. Tomorrow's plan is to pin the quilt. I've already got the backing cut.
The full story of the baby is that Saturday night Chris and I decided that we wanted it to be born soon. We tried a plethora of "natural induction" methods... and obviously they failed. :P All I've got from it is a lower backache. But I could tell that I was getting incredibly cranky over trying so hard, so I said enough tonight. The baby will come when it comes. Given that Chris was a breech baby, and I was a very overdue one, I'll take overdue!
I'm still not that uncomfortable. I've weighed more than I do right now, about 3 years ago. My tummy doesn't feel like it's going to pop. I can breathe just fine, the baby has plenty of room to kick (like right now!)... so how about if I enjoy those last few days as I would normally live, instead of trying to push against nature?
I did figure making goals and announcing them on my blog might nudge the baby though. ;)

What a pretty quilt! You should definitely enjoy your time now, in a few days you will have lots of other things to worry about.
Maybe your quilting energy is your form of nesting :) I can't wait to see the baby, all the babies born around me lately are GIRL GIRL GIRL Jacob needs a buddy so I predict you're having a chubby bubby boy :)
lovely colors! like a kalidiscope! can't wait for the big news - and don't try castor oil like my mom did - they thought she had a the disentary that was going around and wouldn't even ler her see me when I was born! hugs and love to you and Chris - and baby! :)
the colors are incredible! hope the baby comes soon...
Love that quilt and you are right, the baby will come when it comes so you may as well quilt in the meantime!
Oh your quilt is so beautiful, Leah! Your friend is going to be so blessed!
