A couple of weeks ago I came home from work to find this on my bed!
I KNOW!
It had come in the mail from my great-aunt in New York and sweet husband had put it on the bed for me to find. My great-aunt is just getting into quilting and sent me one of her firsts. Isn't it fun? I didn't have any quilts of my own until now. I mean, I had some baby blankets and whathaveyou but nothing like this. I'm so happy. I remember loving patchwork quilts as a kid because it seemed like there was always something new to look it. I'd notice a different patch every time I used it. I'm excited for my kiddies to love it, too.
These are a few of my favorite patches so far:
I guess I'm into florals right now.

How cool is that??? I love it. Grandma Norma had one on her bed when I was growing up that Grandma Louise made from scraps of material that were left over from outfits that she had made for us. I loved that quilt. I loved finding the scraps of the dresses that I remembered. I still have dresses that Grandma L made me. I really should make a quilt out of them... I'll never fit into them again.
that's awesome. i love quilts. i didn't think i did. but i do. they are so nice. they keep you warm when you're cold and cool when you're hot. yeah for awesomeness.
shanna! that would be awesome if you did make that quilt - stories and stories to tell whenever it came out. it would make a wonderful grandma quilt (not that you're anywhere close to being a grandma, but still).
