What a beautiful quilt. She did an awesome job on a first big quilt, and you did the SUPER AWESOME job to rescue and finish it off for her daughter. I am guessing that a lot of tears will be shed when she opens that gift. Way to go.

When my DD was a senior in HS, she had made a baby quilt for one of her teachers, and felt she was now an experienced quilt maker and wanted to make a larger one for herself. She picked out a pattern- which I told her was a bit difficult for a beginner. But being 17, she went ahead anyway. She chose all the fabrics, but I did help with the rotary cutting. Well then she was off to college, then Europe, then marriage. This past summer I was at her house helping her make room for baby #2. Wadded up in the back of a closet was the quilt. She said "Oh throw that out - I made a mess of it." She had used cheap polyester batting, an old sheet for the backing, and tried quilting it with invisible thread on her little cheap machine. It WAS a mess! I claimed to throw it out, but brought it home. Spent months picking out the quilting, bought new cotton batting and backing and had it LA quilted. She has no clue, and I am wrapping it up for Christmas for her daughter - my 1st grandchild. I felt my DD did an excellent job in making the quilt top, just couldn't "throw it out"!
I couldn't resist adding a pic of my sweet GD (14mo) who will get the quilt, with her baby brother (4mo) Guaranteed to make you smile! :) |
Absolutely stunning. Your DD's colour choice and piecing is awesome. I hope she finds time in her busy life to take up quilting again. Kudos to you for taking the time to finish her quilt. In the future, when your DGD is telling people about her quilt, it will have been loved by at least 3 generations. Your DGC are beautiful. Thankyou for sharing.

A thrill awaits your DD. The quilt is beautiful and so are her babies.
