Baby quilt top for Nora Mae

I only saved 2 of my Dad's shirts......not enough!

This one and a pink one were my favorites.

He wore them a lot.  

I  cut some from the pink one I put in a quilt for my nephew.

I may still have enough to make a pillow from that.

This one I decided to make into a pillow first and use scraps for a quilt later..

I really should have saved more and made a pillow for each of his grandchildren.

Hind sight.........

My niece, who has 4 active boys, is going to have a sweet little girl.

Of course she needs a quilt from Aunt Lynda.

I didn't like the way the corner looked with the

stripes going the wrong way in half of the

4 patch.

So I had to take them apart and twist the one

corner stripe of the 4 patch

and sew it back in.

I like that much better!

Here is the top complete.  

After the initial cutting of the pieces,

it went quite quickly.

Now on to making a scrappy back and

then off to the quilters

in time for the baby shower

the middle of May.

Happy Quilting!               Lynda
