What do you think?..... The baby's not due until Nov. 2st.

Hi. well you could write in the book saying something like, i couldn't wait till you arrived etc and keep the same pen with the quilt to finish writing when they do arrive. stating the date you made it etc. its sort of a little story about how exicted you were. the only thing your adding later is the baby's name?

As far as the label I think I would just put made with love Grandma and date it 2011. If you want to add baby's name it can be done after its born. Congratulations!! I think grandkids are such a blessing!!! My MIL says they keep you young but I think I will have to disagree with her on this lol (only after keeping 1-4 at a time lol)
Congrats - Its a beautiful quilt and its unisex lol It will make your daughter smile and she will remember this mothers day for a long time to come!! cheryl :D

Congratulations! Now I can keep a secret but I don't know about you though. You just told everyone here on the board!
As for the label, I would would do something like this:
To my daughter and Baby ________ (Last Name)
I couldn't wait to give this to you. Made with love by Grandma (______) 2011
