Dear new friends, Help! A very special baby shower 7 days from today.
Hi fellow quilters,
My niece's baby shower is a week from today. My sister is express mailing me a box filled with clothing my brother wore. He passed away 5 years ago, and is the baby's grandfather. I thought it would be nice to use his things to make a quilt for the baby. I don't have time for perfection, but it's the thought that counts, right?
I asked Mommy-to-be's big brother some questions and came up with this. I'd love to applique a little boy with a baseball bat and maybe a glove. Beside him on the ground would be a calico kitty playing with the baseball.
Do you have any ideas? I'll do the best I can. As I said, it's the thought that counts. I plan to tack the quilt. We grew up under our grandmother's tacked quilts. If she'd like it quilted, I can bring it home to quilt then send it to her.
Any thoughts or ideas?
