I make family quilts for all the nieces and
nephews when they have their first baby.
(if I made one for each grand niece and nephew
I'd be way too busy, between Walt and I there are
50 grand nieces and nephews)
Michelle and Kennedy had their first baby
May 16th
This is their family quilt -- The Hidden Four Patch
I sew their family name in the border. Then they
can use it for all the babies in their family
The back
And I sign and date the back
The four patch, hence the name
cut into triangles
second four patch
cut into triangles
The four patches sewn together makes two of these squares
It's cut into little pieces
The four pieces with two rectangles are turned 180 degrees
and each piece is sewn into a block
Each block is sewn together
then borders, batting, and back quilted together
and the binding Done!!
So beautiful! Thank you, Stevi, for such an heirloom gift to the Esume family. It is such a treasure!!
