Would it be possible for those who are interested to send you a quilt block to be made into a quilt for your baby??? You can set the parameters--size, color, pattern, etc.
Please say yes!!!

We decided since the very begininning that we didn't like hyphenated last names so our baby only carries his father's last name, all our children will.
Unfortunately in Quebec, a woman cannot take her husband's last name when she gets married. The laws here are stupid :evil:

I did no know that about names... Is there a reason they do not want you to take your husband's name?
What about my right to choose to take my husband's name? Funny how the whole rest of the country and the whole rest of the world doesn't see it as being a problem.
Get this,citizen or non-citizen, if you marry outside of Quebec, when you move here they make you change all your ID back to your maiden name. Sasha's grandmother, who had been married forever had to change her drivers license, medicare card, passport... everything!
My mother was married here, under the old law before it changed in the early 80s. She still goes by her married name, but all the government papers, car registragion, bank papers are all under her maiden name... What a stupid government. Way to make everythign complicated!
I think the only way you can legally change your name here is if your name is in another language but in english or french it means something that you really don't want it to mean ( like, Mr. Arse, or something, could be a real name is some random language, but it means something totally different here).
OR, you have the same last name as a known criminal or something you REALLY don't want to be associated with. Even then they make you jump through hoops.

I don't like to be just on the receiving end, but if I can participate in sending blocks to the other expecting mommas too, I'm totally in!!!

I think making baby blocks would be wonderful. Depending on how many join in, we might have to ration out who makes blocks for which baby, or each of you might end up with dozens and have to make a queen-size quilt rather than a cuddly baby-size.
