I made this quilt in 1999 and just realized that I never posted a picture of it. I actually have pictures and needed content so here we are.
As you know, I don’t normally make baby quilts for people, so this is one of the few I have made. I made it for one of my nephews when he was born. I am pretty close to his mother and father, so I must have been inspired.
There are a couple of other notable things about this quilt. It is one of the few that I finished in 1999.
I also had a ~2 year old at the time, so getting this quilt together was a major achievement.
Other than those few things, I have no memory of making this quilt. I feel sad about that, actually. I don’t even remember if I quilted it! I do think it came out pretty well and it is bright and cheerful.
As you can see, the back has the same font as the Food Quilt #2. This means that I must have had that pattern since at least 1999. The stripe of fabric on the right is Marimekko fabric.
I haven’t seen Jenny posting in a while, but I am linking up anyway.
I wonder if I made some of those blocks for you. I see a lot of fabrics in it that I had in my stash at the time…
I have no idea. I saw your comment and wondered if we made it at your house or pieced it together. I really have no memory of this quilt except buying the alphabet pattern. Sad, really.
Either that or I gave you a set of blocks from one of my block making binges…
I may need to find that journal and look. I am horrified that I can’t remember anything about this quilt.
When I’ve come across some old pictures of quilts, I’m surprised at how little I remember about them. I’m so glad I have my blog to chronicle what I am doing.
That is why I have a blog!
Is there a pattern for this quilt or for the quilt block? Do you know the dimensions of the pieces? Or where I could get a pattern? I really like this.
Oh, nevermind, I found a pattern. Thanks for sharing.
