Last month my 9 yr old granddaughter called to tell me that she was still using the crib quilt I made for her. "But, Grandma, it's too small for my bed!". Now, is that a hint or not? And, of course, she wanted it yesterday. So I decided on a Double Irish Chain - 1.) because I love the pattern and 2.) because it's so quick and easy. Because she's 9 I didn't want anything too youthful and wanted something that would grow with her. So, I used her favorite colors and quilted butterflies on it to add just a bit of whimsy. I'll deliver it today and will expect a call from my grandson tomorrow.

very pretty love the colors.

sounds like you have a future quilter here!! You need to start her off with learning to help you make the next one. If she's not nearby, take a trip!!

oh Grandma!

Oh, her quilt is gorgeous! I absolutely love those colors.

Don't you just love it!!! ??? :roll:

Love the quilt and the butterflies are an added bonus. Great job.

So pretty and you are right - it will grow with her. Has the grandson called yet?

Wow, I want to be your grand daughter - that quilt is beautiful! She is one special little girl. The hand quilted butterflies in the white fabric are beautiful as is the entire quilt. Very well done and it will definitely grow with her. :thumbup:

Very pretty!

Gorgeous and I love the butterflies, nice touch.

That is beautiful! Love the colors, and with butterflies, how could you ever go wrong? Know she will love and treasure it forever.

I gave Lily the quilt. Asked Andrew what he thought of it. He said "I guess it's ok." So, I said, "So, you don't want one?"
His reply was "I didn't say that. But how do I know what a quilt is supposed to look like?" He's 13.

She will love it--and it's grown up enough to keep her happy for a very long time!

Very pretty Grandma.....Good job! :thumbup: :D

Did you hand quilt or machine quilt? It's Beautiful!

very pretty quilt. Love the butterflies.

Gorgeous! She is going to love it! Great job!

I love it!! What a great Gramma you are. I know they love you and your wonderful gift of quilts!!

I hand quilt. Don't know how to machine quilt yet, but I'm determined to learn.

Love it!

What a pretty quilt! I love the colors too. The butterflies are cute. Let us know how she liked it. Great job.

You are going to be one popular grandma after you deliver that one.

Your butterfly quilting is exquisite!

Dont know if I would go into quite as much detail for Andrews quilt. "What is a quilt supposed to look like"? Give me a break! Maybe a nine-patch for him in his favorite colors might be a good idea.
Your quilt is just lovely and what GD wouldnt just love to snuggle with it, especially with the butterflies. It just seems that butterflies and little girls go together! Keep up the good work!

How sweet that is -- and you did a wonderful job -- love the butterflies.
