Before blogging there was quilting.Before blogging there were life changing events.
This is my reminder of that.
I made this a couple of years ago afterwe adopted a very sweet little 3 year old girl.
She came along with some physical problems
and we didn't know at the time
how much progress she would make.
You can see I used some scraps.Yeah!!!
I love using those up!!
I bought a little tiny piece of fabricwith the alphabet letters.
Then....I just made some
wonky log cabin blocks beginning with that
little strip of black.
This was also one of my first
free motion quilted quilts!!
My little girl has surprised us all!!
And we're so happy we have thislittle happy, happy girl at OUR house!
I'm adding this to the quilt festival.
There will be a LOT of quilts to see this week!!
Have fun!!
Congrats on a beautiful quilt and a beautiful daughter. She is so blessed to have parents that love her and a mom that made a quilt just for her.

ReplyDeleteWhat I am enjoying so much from this festival is seeing quilts like this, using fabrics I either don't have or wouldn't think of using together. But it works and is inspiring. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI love using scraps up too, this came out really wonderful. I'm glad it has so many great memories for you.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful quilt work !
ReplyDeleteWow - the story is great.
ReplyDeleteI've loved your blog--I'll be back. Just Sunday I started some blocks from a packet I had of alphabet letters. Dutifully I cut them up and am making a very straight quilt using 30's fabric--even had to go buy some as I don't have any--and don't know why I bought those letters! But, my point is that your quilt and it's wonkiness really has pizzaz!
ReplyDeleteSuper fun quilt, wish I'd have seen it before I started mine--the outcome would have been totally different. :) Truly I am trying to think outside the box! Your quilt is a fun example of how that can be done and looks great!
Your story of your daughter is so sweet!and she really does look happy. Thanks for sharing.
