I made a quilt for a newborn baby. His mama had no experience with quilts at the time. She quietly thanked me. She was genuinely content with the quilt as her look of surprise showed on her face. She had only seen bold quilts that I'd made prior to this one for her 'yet to be born' boy. However, I knew she was a very reserved person, and used only earth tones and paired them with a mellow quilt block.
Once a year I get a picture of her and her son underneath the quilt. It's sweet, quick and simple, but I appreciate her for it.
