Just finished another crib sized quilt! I love to make unique quilts for babies: thinking perhaps they just might become a "blankie" for them. Like Linus, many babies love security blankets. My cousin had one she called "Nonny." She wore Nonny to shreds. When she went to Kindergarten, she carried pieces of Nonny in her pocket. The baby boy about to receive this quilt tomorrow may read the archives of my blog sometime down the road, and see how much I desired to give him a little piece of my love. This quilt has appliqued airplanes on 11" blocks, bound together by 4" strips of flannel sashing. It is machine quilted with a light blue backing.
