I have been trying for months to make a quilt for my DGD. No pattern making it up as I go (It's evolving). All I could hear in my head is Tim Gunn saying "make it work" Anyway, I had this bright idea to paper piece her name and date of birth as part of the quilt. I swear before the "quilt god" above that I have taken each seam that I sewed apart at least twice. I started this morning and I now have 3 letters and 1 number completed only have 25 more to go. I'm about to shorten that baby's name. Thanks for letting me vent, I must return to my machine, I just might get another letter done before the sun comes up.

LOL.. YOu GO GIRL... Make it work! You can do it.

Yeah you!! Hang in there!

I am dying to know what her name is. I hope she was not born in a long month too. Have you thought about embroidery? Good luck I can't wait to see your accomplishment.

Her name is Zaria McKenzie Williams born: 12-12-2010. I wouldn't dream of putting the date of birth in letters.

I am guessing it will turn out great and please post pictures when you are done!!

You can do it! On www.quiltville,Bonnie Hunter has a quilt friend that did a book on letters and numbers. You might want to check it out.

I tried this to make a quilted banner/wallhanging with the name of our business for our LA quilting studio. I even had access to Electric Quilt Software. It still took me 3 attempts at designing & piecing to figure it out. Now all I need is to finish quilting it. I think you are very talented and have great perseverance to figure it out on your own.

hang in there, you can do this!

Name not too bad. My son name jeramiah Joseph!!!!
