I can sooo relate!
Me, too. I started crocheting a blanket for my grandson when my son and daughter-in-law found out they were having a boy... this was probably June of 2008.
My grandson was 2 in September. Maybe I'll get this blanket done in time for HIS child??

It wouldn't be so bad, but I was on strict rest for most of the pregnancy so really I had nothing better to do than knit.... or be online on my laptop.... ah!
he's now 5 months old....

Thank you! I really need to update my art website (www.shadetreegallery.com, for anyone who doesn't know what we're talking about), I have several new pieces to get up there (Including chicken paintings! Stay tuned...). I do it so sporadically I have to re-learn web design every time, and it takes forever, so I put it off. Quilting is almost as good a procrastination tool as playing on the internet!
Goldenluver is right, it's a disappearing nine-patch, although I used a different technique to make it even easier. Rather than trying to describe it, look here: http://www.quiltingassistant.com/9patch.html
Except I didn't do one long strip like that because I had a lot of different fabrics, I did shorter ones. Either way, it's an easy way to make a complicated-looking quilt. The arrangement is my own design (really, making the designs is the most fun part of quilting, IMO). I tried it without the dividing white strips, and I think it just looked like a chaotic mess, so I went with reconstructed blocks.
These are the first two quilts I made, which sparked my addiction (I really thought I was going to hate quilting, but I knew my sister would love a baby quilt, so I did it anyway. Turns out I loved it so much I finished the thing in about 2 weeks.)
My cousin was having a baby a couple of months later, so that gave me an excuse to make another from a charm pack that I'd impulse bought:
And then I was out of babies, so I had to make a big one!
