This is a
quilt I made for the grandchild of my daughters friend. It was one of those requests like “Mom, can
you make a quilt for H and will it be ready next week”. Needless to say, my daughter does not sew and
has no idea what is involved in making a quilt, time or cost.
I will say
this about my daughter, there are many things she does very, very well and I
could not have made it the last two years without her help. She has been my yard person and has worked
very hard helping me keep the yard looking cut and trimmed.
As I said my
daughter knows nothing about quilt making or sewing. I always wash my quilts after I have finished
with them. Daughter comes over to pick
up quilt and she is looking at the quilt and looks at a specific piece of
fabric and says “You washed it and look the fabric has faded”. The background of the fabric was a pink ombre
(beautiful pink shade) with an overprint of wildflowers in delicate shades of
purple. I just had to laugh!
The quilt
turned out nicely and I do hope Miss H enjoys it. Do you wash your quilts after you finish them?
