I have made this for one of my work colleagues who became a grandmother for the first time only a month or so earlier than me - sadly for her - her grandchild is in the UK!!!
When discussing colours - she initially suggested "ice pink"....I suggested to her - that it might be easier if she visited a patchwork shop and looked at fabrics - I gave her an idea of how much to buy etc - and notes about the pattern I would be using (I had shown her a few samples) - and I did expect the people running the shop would give her some help - they didn't!!!...but she decided on the fabrics.
I must admit when I first saw them I was a bit "Oh...mmm....", but the more I worked on it - the more I liked it. Maybe I will get her to pick fabrics for me ...???
I do hope she and her daughter like it.

I am sure it will be much loved Susan, it is a beautiful quilt and beautifully made.
I think she did a great job of picking the fabrics as it made up a fabulous baby quilt.
It's really pretty and I am sure it will be loved! xx
The fabrics look great together. Not a good thing when the shop assistant didn't help her, I thought that is what they are there for.
