I've been working on baptism quilts for our grandchildren. It is such a special time for them and I wanted to make something so they could always remember their special day. I didn't get a picture of the first quilt I made all by itself, but you can see how happy this sweet girl is with her quilt. It's just the perfect size for snuggling.
I let them choose their color scheme and make the quilts from a combination of flannel and minky fabric. The squares are cut 9 1/2 inches square. I use 6 colors or color/pattern combinations. The quilt is 5 squares wide x 6 squares long. I also have a friend embroider their name and the month of their baptism on one of the corner blocks.
I'm working on quilt #3 right now. He requested every color (except the girlie ones!), but I had him narrow it down to his favorite color - which is red!
