A New Quilt For A New Cousin

Posted by Carolyn on June 5, 2014 2 Comments

Alma and Harriet are getting a new cousin very, very soon, so that meant it was time for a new quilt!  I love this one.  It is so cheerful.  I’m also really happy with it because it uses only fabrics that I already owned.  That means that there are already memories, love, and other babies connected to this quilt.  I can see pieces from sheets I made for my friend’s baby, parts of quilts for two of my nephews, Alma’s Halloween costume/apron, Alma’s and Harriet’s weekly photo projects, Harriet’s baby quilt.  You see, lots of love.

Our new family member is being born far away in Minnesota, to my step-brother and his wife.  They chose to wait until birth to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl.  We did this with Alma, and really loved the experience.  I think this quilt will be perfect no matter who they have.

The quilting got a little wonky, but hey.  Whatever.  Gives it that homemade-with-love character.  You can’t buy that in a store!

We are all so excited to meet you, little baby. You are already so, so loved.  Even though I know it will be quite a while before I get to meet you, I’m glad your parents will be able to wrap you up in this quilt that I made for you, with love.
