TBT: Baby Loves Poetry Quilts

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

One of the most downloaded quilt patterns I designed for BOMquilts.com were the “Baby Loves Poetry” quilts.  As I was searching through my photos, I came across the photos of the quilts that I made that inspired these patterns.  The quilts were gifted to two of my cousin’s children, all four of whom have a quilt from ‘Aunt Tammy’ with a heart as the focal point.  Goodness, these “Baby Loves Poetry” quilts sure did turn out great, if I do say so myself!
