    I made this many years ago for my first grand-daughter.....I'm still waiting for my grand-daughter.

    I've been blessed with two wonderful grand-sons (8 and 9)....so I'm thinking it's about time to give this quilt a new home.

    This is the fabric that I was in search of...I wanted to finish up the pillow sham...and thankfully, **oksewglad** had the yellow calico and I found the purple print on another site.

    So, 15 years later, my ufo pillow sham is finally completed and this fine set will go to our local hospital for a young girl to have.

    I've only got one daughter...and I'm starting to think that she won't be having any more children. I try not to hound, but I do drop the subtle hints every now and then.

    Either way, I know I've been overly blessed with two wonderful grandsons.

    I'm sorry you didn't have a granddaughter. It's a lovely quilt and some little girl will love it.

    Really cute quilt. I did the same thing when my DIL was pregnant for the first time. I made an adorable quilt for a little girl because I have always wanted a granddaughter. Well, it's 22 years later and I still would love to have a granddaughter, but it won't be happening. I have four wonderful grandson who I love dearly. But it's not nearly as much fun sewing for them as it would be for a granddaughter.

    Oh so sweet! And isn't great to get a UFO done? Glad I could help make it happen.

    I've got four granddaughter. There won't be any grandsons. Both my daughter and daughter in law took care of that.

    Yes!...I have a few more UFOs lurking...hopefully I have everything I need to finish them up....if not, I surely know where to search for more fabric.
