Love it - I'm sure Lily will too.

I love it !!!! Sweet little babies need loads of bright stuff .

What a fantastic quilt! No doubt Lily will love her little blanket with so much to look at and feel.

That is so sweet. I know it will be treasured

Most people have no idea what is going to 'set others off'. We don't want people afraid to even speak, for fear of offending someone, somehow. Please be gracious....

I agree...with sewbizgirl. I have a child who is Deaf and would not have minded at all if someone made him a special quilt keeping his needs in mind. This quilt is a beautiful quilt with lots of color and texture...just what the baby needs. We make Project Linus quilts without a single thought for babies born with special needs. I will speak to my coordinator about this. Altho' I am not optimistic as these babies/children so often get overlooked.

Amen! I just love the quilt! Thanks for sharing.

The quilt is absolutely beautiful! You did a great job and so personal. It is a treasure and I am jealous of your ability to put such diverse fabrics together into such a beautiful quilt. :)

Wonderful quilt for Lily!

What a precious gift for such a precious little soul!

I meant no offense. When posting pictures on this board, I normally give a little back story to the quilt I've made. Most of the quilts I make are gifts, and a lot of heart, thought and prayer goes into each one. When I post pictures it is not just about technique, fabric and pattern used. Each quilt has a story to tell and I like to share those stories with my fellow quilters. I thought this was a safe place to do so. You are all such a wonderful bunch, and can usually relate to the stories. Lily is definitely a gift from God, as I know your son is as well. Give him an extra big hug from one of your quilting buddies, Sally.

Would they do it if the child was blonde, chubby, blind, black or white? My son is now 46 years old, and all his life I have found people who label him..and it makes my blood boil...he is not "downs", he is a gift from God and God didn't put a label on him...people did.

Cute! I saw it on the skull post also. Very unique!

That is so adorable . :shock:

That is one cool quilt!

It is adorable. I love all the texture.

A truly unique quilt!
