Half Started Projects

I been all over the place over the last few days on the nursery projects. I started by cutting all the different fabric projects I could think of, baby quilt, bed skirt, teething bumper and I started painting the TARDIS'? On the wall with the help of lovely Katie. Im still going to try and achieve my goal of finishing the nursery before our trip to California so that when we get back we can be on Halloween mode to make the costumes!
But of course, first I got sick and then I got sicker... So here we are, the beginning to several projects.
This is so far the most frustrating part of the nursery, but with the help of Katie we got most of it done. TARDIS painted on the wall facing the crib. 
The baby quilt pattern, needs batting, sewing, finishing the ends... everything. I want it to be simple and a little more modern because the fabric detail is very, well, detailed, and I like the idea of it not just being Doctor Who but also being a stripped Doctor Who pattern to the fabrics in the room. 
Lots of measuring and remeasuring, basic math, using a straight edge, pins, etc, all to make sure we have straight lines for the quilt, bedskirt and teething bumper. 
The Doctor Who bedskirt almost done. Instead of using a white middle I decided to just use one big blue piece because i knew that if I saw the white peaking out at any point it would drive me crazy! It needs to have the bottom hemed and it needs to be ironed.
