I am going to baby shower tomorrow. I have not been to a baby shower since the baby shower for my grandson Hollis, which was about seven years ago. I was fully immersed in my work and couldn't put my time to making something to commemorate his arrival. So, when this shower came along, I have asked myself repeatedly why I am going to this effort. For my ego defense, I must say that I really enjoy making quilts for babies. It seems to be like an insurance policy for the future of civilization, a testament of my confidence that "we" will survive.I did haul out all the saved scraps of my life. As you can see I am very attracted to red. I enjoyed making this and it went fast enough (about 3 days). I find that I take a long time to make anything, but I limited the complexity allowed me to speed sew.
The baby will be named Chloe, may she live long and happy.

So beautiful! Red is my favorite color....
Lucky Chloe! Not a slap together quilt...well placed and the back side is neatly placed...great colors!
Such a beauty. Love the colors that you chose. I am sure Chloe will be a very special girl to have a special red quilt all her own. I have to remind myself sometimes that not all things of beauty and merit have to be long-drawn out projects.
