When I was expecting my first, I was still into sewing and I found a preprinted and prequilted fabric the right size for an infant quilt, so I bought it and some seam binding and "made a quilt" for my incoming infant. My grandmother, who I didn't know sewed, bought teddy bear fabric and a smaller bear matching backing and made a quilt, tying it with yarn in squares. The babe loved to be wrapped tight in his blankets, so the quilts were really handy. As he grew, he still had both quilts in his arms as he fell asleep - security blankets ala Linus! So, when I was expecting again, I made a new infant quilt for my daughter, as did my grandmother. Same deal. They loved their quilts well into adolescence. I never packed them away. Time went on. I was very surprised when I was cleaning their rooms when they were almost adults - both kids had kept their quilts and I found the remnants of them under their pillows in their beds! So, this is why I was determined to make something unique and of value to comfort my incoming grandchild. It was my first thought! I wish for her to always have a tangible handful of love and security for as long as she wants/needs it. I suppose there is also a little hope that my love for them will live on and on. ❤❤❤ Thu, 10 Apr 2025 17:23:52 GMT https://blue.feedland.org/?item=789078 https://blue.feedland.org/?item=789078 The story behind baby quilts.
