I bet the girls just love that room, but you know you have to add another bed for little Sofie!

One is a double wedding ring. It has a lot of purples and greens in it. It is in great shape, too, I just do not have a bed to put it on. The last one is a little dutch boy (the male equivalent to Sunbonnet Sue). It is NOT in good shape. It was my brother's when he was growing up and it was used a lot. Some of the border fabric is non-existant now!!! I used to have a coordinating Sunbonnet Sue for my bed, but it was stolen by our movers in one of our moves (unfortunately, not an uncommon practice). It was my favorite quilt of all and I do not even have a picture of it. :cry:

I have no idea where we are going to put Miss Sofie when she outgrows the crib--I better start thinking about that now!!!

Harmony-my grandmother must have gotten a swinging deal on the yellow fabric. It is in all three of the quilts. The tulip and the butterfly quilt are both backed in the yellow. And all three of them have the same border-it is alternating yellow and muslin wedges and the binding is the yellow fabric. I think all that yellow is what makes them all go together.

Those are so nice I like them all but the butterflies there is just something about that one and I can't put my finger on it. Oh well, lucky you, and the grandkids LUCKY FOR THEM> Thanks for sharing those are all very nice.

oh Marcia, I hope your grandmother knows how much you love her quilts. And I think it's wonderful that you have those beds too, what a special room! I'll bet you can close your eyes and recall wonderful memories in there. My quilting grandma died when I was only 8 and she was sick for a long time but I remember a lot about her and have a couple of her quilts on display at my house. My mother has one of her grandmother's quilts but it's in very bad shape. Hopefully you'll be able to pass those on to your little girls when they grow up.

Your room for your granddaughters is so nice. And the quilts - WOW, what a treasure!!! I have a bunk room for my grandsons, but they are getting to the point where they need to be down low. Thanks for the inspiration.

Ohhhh, so pretty. That is really neat. I love to hear things like that.
