I'm submitting the baby quilt I made for my cousin Alison as my contribution to March's Month of Softies, organized by the ever-inspirational Loobylu. As I started the quilt I wasn't thinking of the theme for this month, but as I got farther along I realized I was choosing fabrics and patterns that evoked strong memories of my own childhood. This was especially true with the satin ribbon that I used to bind everything with, which I chose because it reminded me of a blanket I remember favoring as a kid. It spawned a lot of interesting discussion within my family about memories we all had of that time. I had great fun with it!
I documented the quilt in progress in a series of journal entries:
