That is awesome, I did something similar for my last granddaughter when she was born almost 3 years ago. She cherishes that blanket to this date and has a special place for it on her bed every night. Mom had to literally drag it from her kicking and a screaming as she is getting older to wash it !LOL

One of my cousins used to pull up a chair near the washer and dryer for her child to sit while his "blankie" was being washed and dried. He would wait there through the whole process.

I have friends, a married couple, whos names are really Dick and Jane. They live in St. Pete, Fl. Wonderful people. They have been married about 40 yrs. I had to send to them a picture of your quilt. They will love it :) Where did you get that fabric? Thanks for sharing.

What a great quilt to bring back childhood memories (for some of us!)

Would you believe, I actually saw a D & J colouring book yesterday @ the $ store??? They must be making a comeback!

I love, love, love this quilt! As a former elementary teacher, the primers are really special to me. Also, I can remember running to school in the 50s with a quarter to pay for my Think and Do workbook as we went to each higher level book. This is so adorable.
