Bitsy Hitzy's Rag Wreath

So after taunting y'all a while back with my promise to make a rag wreath for Bitsy's room, I have finally sat down and completed the task!
For a complete tutorial on making rag wreaths check out my how to post.
The math on fabric was a little different for this wreath, however.
I wanted to mimic a life preserver...

Materials needed:

 1/8th yard of 3 accent color fabrics.

I chose 3 varying shades of tan (one of which is a sheer fabric)

I also used 2 rolls of burlap-esque ribbon, sparingly.

1/2 yard of 4 white fabrics.

I chose solid white, a sheer polka dot, a white on white polka

dot, and the flower embroidered white.

All of my fabrics were cut into 1" strips by 8" sections!

I sectioned off 4 portions to be my accent color and then filled in the white in the remaining sections.

And the end results....

 Bud told me that he he can definitely see a life preserver.

He also mentioned that maybe we could add some rope to it, 

*gasp* is that the sound of my husband getting crafty?!

I LOVE IT!

I LOVE him!  

 Here is a picture of it with a letter "A" that I painted.

Yes Bitsy's name starts with an A, but that's about all I'll share.

I think that I might get another "A" and paint it the teal instead

possibly with white and tan polka dots, Bud mentioned making 

it look distressed (again with the craftiness!)

Well that's all I have for now!

Still no baby...YET!

Maybe it's time for another walk....(I know I shouldn't rush it, but I'm ready to meet her and the doctor got my hopes up that it would be soon).

I hope you all have a Blessed Saturday!
