Quilt for my sister

I'm so proud of this I have to share. I made this quilt for my sister who is due with her first baby (a boy) in August. My grandma made two of these for me but she passed away before she was able to make one for my sister. When we cleaned out Grandma's apartment we found her pattern so I took it home and taught myself to quilt. I've been working on it every chance I got for months and I just love how it turned out.

Re: Quilt for my sister

  • Wow, K, that is beautiful!!  Does your sister know about it yet?  If she doesn't I can't imagine the waterworks when you present it to her.  That is so thoughtful of you!
