Anna’s New Quilt

When I was pregnant my mom told me that she wanted to make some quilts for the baby.  Together we looked at some ideas and settled on two: one bright color block quilt and one blue and yellow quilt with a bunny on it.  For the first few months of life babies don’t see very well and what they do see best are bright colors, so we thought the color block quilt would be a nice thing for the baby to have on the wall.  And mom and I love blue and yellow, so we decided the blue and yellow one could be the baby’s sleeping quilt.

When mom got sick the quilts were put on hold and for a long time my mom wasn’t well enough to work on the quilts.  But as she progressively got better and better she was able to get back to working (hand stitching) on the quilts.  Today, as a testament to how much better my mom is, Anna got her color block quilt.

Here is Anna rolling around on her new quilt:

Beautiful eh?  And the back is nice too; a lovely purple flannel with trees and sheep.  Here is Anna trying out the soft flannel side:
