Another story from the Quilt Giver

I know I'm not alone. Many of us quilters give away our creations. I just realized, looking at my "finished quilts" tab on top of the page, that every single quilt there has been gifted or donated. =P I truly LOVE making unique, personalized quilts for the people I love, and never regret doing so. However, sometimes I become so attached to a quilt that it becomes slightly painful to give it away.

Yesterday was one of those days. I gave my Bubble Trail baby quilt away to my soon-to-be sister-in-law, who is having another one of my nieces in just a month.

My sister-in-law (and everyone at the baby shower) loved it (sometimes it's kind of embarrassing when people ask, "how much TIME did that take?" Do you know the feeling?) Honestly, I knew she was going to get a billion and one outfits, and diapers, and pacifiers, and whatnot, but she would only get one handmade quilt that could be used for a long time and kept forever.

I used my FMQ foot (I'm not even sure if that's the right name!) and FMQed her name, Audriana, into the bottom of the quilt. I also attached the label to the back and took a couple of final pictures.

"born" left with space afterwards so she can fill it in :)

I'm going to miss this one... it's one of my favorite quilts I've ever made... I love the rainbow colors and the modern feel. It was very whimsical to me. Hopefully I'll see it again.
