Lexi's quilt

Every time Lexi wears this shirt I say

to anyone within earshot

"Those colors are just begging to be made into a quilt!"

Then I remembered - I have the perfect back already

for a Lexi quilt!

Yes, I know, she already has one

but this is more her.

Though made with lots of love,

this won't go down in history as one of my best pieces of work.

My quilting was less than impressive...

I was pleased, however,

with how well my seams matched up

'specially considering how poorly I did last time on that.

I had some extra blocks

so I made a little doll quilt so I could practice my quilting.

I really wanted to do flowers all over,

but my skills are sorely lacking...

Ya'll know I like adding in a word or two

so I added 'dream baby'

sort of a positive reinforcement

subliminal message kind of thing...

Still had blocks left

so I made 2 tiny blankets

for the girl's little 4 inch dolls.

In looking at this quilting again

I think

if I would have just slowed down more and taken my time

I could have done the flowers like I wanted.

I just love the back!

both of 'em - actually

It may not be my best work work

but I think it'll still be quite loved.

This girl sure is!
