fabric for generations

My grandmother was such a special woman... the matriarch of our family to be sure. After she died, I was able to pick out some fabric from her fabric stash. One was a lovely tiny yellow floral, which I incorporated into my daughter's baby quilt. Now my cousin is due in June with her first child, a girl, so I wanted her to have some of it as well. Every time I look at Claire's baby quilt I think of my wonderful grandmother... now my cousin can do the same! (I don't think she reads this blog... at least let's hope not!)


























This was my first time machine quilting free-style with the darning foot... I think the flower/loop motif was very forgiving of all my mistakes. Most of the other fabrics are from the "Swell" line by Urban Chiks. I figured the blues, greens, and yellows will be great for any of my cousin's future kids, whether they're a boy or a girl.
