I think naming the quilt is a big part of the process. It helps me to complete the quilt knowing it will represent my feelings and mood during the process. Sometimes, but not often it takes on the !@#%^^^. It seems fun to inherit or find a quilt with a name and think who and what the quilter's mindset might have been.

The quilt I made for a small grandson was all blue, except for the center block of the log cabins, it was titled"Grandma Gets Rid of the Blues". And, the patchwork heart quilt I made for our fiftieth anniversary accidentally had one block turned wrong, didn't see it till it was on the frame, that quilt is now called "Change of Heart", and most people think it refers to all the colors in the blocks, who am I to tell the true story? piecefully, the old one

So......the question is "Do You Name Your Quilt"?

I start my quilts most of the time with no idea who will recieve it or the name it all just seems to fall into place. I also take pictures of the cutting and piecing and the sewing, kinda a log of how it starts and how it ends. I started a scrappy sunbonnet sue quilt last december it ended up being a snowball quilt calling it "the beauty in chaos" due to all the chaos my daughter "caused" (alls well now). I've said it before that for me each quilt I make is a snip of time a reflection of whats going on at that moment in time, at least for me. Maybe I'm too emotional, but I think everyone should name them after all they are a work of art.

Occasionally I do but mainly the ones that have given me a chuckle or a fit get named. My most recent one was Maroon Christmas Tree With Bear! I was trying to make my own pattern but ran out of fabric at the top. LOL Check it out.
