This is a beautiful quilt with a very special sentiment.  I believe I mentioned it before.  An older couple adopted a little girl, late in their lives.  When she was a baby, her grandma made all of her clothes.  Earlier in the year, I met with the mother and grandmother – they wanted a quilt designed and made for the adopted daughter.  The grandmother had saved a number of scraps of fabric from all of the clothes she made for her granddaughter – and they wanted those put into a special memory quilt.  The daughter is in college, and they wanted me to make the quilt to fit her dorm bed.  The one thing they asked was that although the fabrics were very juvenile and girlie, the young girl was not – so, they wanted to make sure I was able to make it with a bit more grown-up feel and not quite so feminine.  So, we went across the street from the restaurant we met at and picked out a couple of purple batiks that the mother thought would work nicely for her daughter.  Tomorrow evening, I’ll find out if they like it because they are coming up to town to pick it up!
