My first stroller quilt
About a week or so ago I received the best email ever. It was from my great nephew Ethan written with help by his Grandma Karen, my sister. Let me just say Ethan is a very smart little guy and knew just how to get to me and I went willingly. They live in Arizona and it's the time of year when they say it's getting cold out. Now Ethan's problem was an easy one to help with. He needed a quilt smaller than a regular crib quilt so that when he's out in his stroller it's not as big and bulky. I went right into action. First I picked out a great charm pack at the quilt store and some even better backing. I'm terrible at remembering fabric lines I just know that I loved it and made a quilt from it. At first the blocks made the quilt to small so I added so sashing and a few borders. Then I layered it up and tonight I quilted it on my machine and added the binding. I think it turned out pretty darn cute. I might have to make a few more of them for him. I just washed it and it's in the dryer and one night this week I can send out the package that I have that will go to Ethan with all kinds of goodies in it.
