I figured since he is already here I better get off my duff and finish it up. I had the whole thing finished except for the binding, just sitting there for months. So, yesterday I made myself sit down and do it. Of course, I had to go to the fabric store to buy a half yard of fabric to finish it up. I thought I had enough of a yellow or a purple to do the binding, but could not find one piece that would work.
I love the colors in this one. This picture doesn’t really show the deep purples. There is a lot of family history in this–the fabric in the big yellow blocks was also used in a quilt for Spencer and one for Becky; a couple of the purples were used in a quilt for Sarah; another purple was in a quilt for Becca; a yellow plaid was used for a dress for Sarah when she was a baby; and the purple plaid was bought on a trip I took to Mexico. I am sure Owen won’t care where the fabrics came from, all he will care about is that it is warm and soft.
OH MY GOD…YEAH!!!! for baby and for gorgeous quilt…YOU ARE AMAZING! HUGS
What an incredible quilt! Someday, Owen *will* know, and will care about the history of it.
Till then, it will keep him warm, and he will grow up with a wonderful quilt that is like being wrapped in a hug straight from his Grandma!
Thim 🙂
Spencer still loves both of his. “The Teddy Bears” quilt is perfect in the car on cold mornings. He got upset when he spilled his drink on it, and was very concerned about me getting it clean!! Em 🙂
