| Angie’s Quilt 2002 |
In the picture above, my daughter is about nine months pregnant but as yet did not know whether she was having a boy or a girl. Of course, I was pretty sure the baby was going to be a boy…after all, she already had two girls and my 4-year-old grandson wanted a baby brother. So I happily made the quilt with lots of blues…
[Sorry for the poor quality of the picture. Sadly, I no longer have the original digital picture. This picture was scanned from a printed page.]
The quilt uses 1930’s reproduction prints in yellow, red, and, of course, blue … lots of blue. The backing is a BLUE flannel print. I used “Warm & Natural” batting to make sure my grandchild would be warm … the grandchild I was sure would be a boy.
And, in March 2002, my grandchild was born … a 10 lb. 1oz. Baby GIRL … I sure hope she likes blue!
I saw the pattern for this quilt in the QUILT Almanac 2002 magazine and decided to make it for my unborn grandchild. Here is the original magazine pic:
Sadly, I’d long ago gotten rid of the magazine; but I recently found a copy at my local guild. So, now I’m hoping to make another quilt for Angie, but in pink for a little girl!
