Needles and a Pen » Knitting, Sewing, and Nursing School

I finished this quilt in 2001, in my senior year of high school.  I had been collecting fat quarters in these pastels for a while and I remember being totally over-the-moon that I used up almost every scrap.  I was sure that I was going to grow up and have four girls, and that this would be their treasured baby quilt.

When Will was born I put it at the foot of his bed anyway.

He was a funny kid–he didn’t have a particular blankie or lovie, he just liked a LOT of quilts.  Every night he would get tucked in under about 5 different quilts at his insistence (they would all get kicked off).  This was one of them.

Luckily Ellie came along or he’d still be sleeping under it. and all of its girly awesomeness.
