Baby Blue

This is a pic of a quilt that I made  for a baby boy that is soon to be born.  I made it at the request of this baby's great-grandmother.  I usually say "Sorry, I don't quilt for money, just for my own joy." But I couldn't resist helping out in this case.  The Baby's Great-Grandmother is  friend of my mother. This lady is 92 and blind. She wanted so much for this baby to have a handquilted quilt that I knew I had to say "Yes".  It had to be baby blue and it had to be a  cotton panel and it had to be cotton batting and most of all, it had to be hand-quilted.  I am not a huge fan of pre-printed panels until I saw this one. After looking unsuccessfully and thinking I wouldn't find one to satisfy the requirements, I found this one at Dayle's Dept Store in Amherst.  Just what she wanted.  I added a soft Kona snow as a border and used a lovely baby blue Papillon on the back.  It is so soft and cuddly.
