A Sweet Baby Quilt with a Beautiful Story


Isn't this just a beautiful quilt?
And, guess what? This quilt has a delightful story. You see, all of the fabrics pieced into this quilt (except one) were purchased years and years ago by the quiltmaker's mother who has since passed away.  

Now, it must be told that the quiltmaker's mom HAD been quite a sewist, but the quiltmaker had never made a quilt and,  in reality,  had not sewn ANYTHING since Junior High School. 

Ok, fast forward a bit......the quiltmaker's brother and his wife were going to have a baby - a girl - so the quiltmaker created this lovely quilt so that the new wee one could be wrapped in both her grandma's and her aunt's love.  

Take a closer look at the fabric. Isn't the fabric purchased so long ago just perfect for the new baby girl!
