Crazy Patch Quilt for a Baby Girl

S loves crazy patchwork so what better choice for a baby quilt for a friend. Instead of an overall patchwork pattern, we chose to make and piece together blocks. As a child, this friend loved strawberry shortcake. We happened to have a piece in our stash and it became the back.

Gram's Pinwheel Quilt

Gram never was particularly tall and as she got older, she became even shorter. Most quilts were too long and bunglesome for comfort. Her eyesight was also going so I put together a bright, pinwheel pattern, lap quilt so it would be easier to pull up or kick off.

I tied it for extra texture.

Here it is at the design stage, laid out on the floor. If you look closely you'll notice my dyslexia. Some of the blocks spiral clockwise and others counter clockwise.

When Gram passed away, the quilt came to one of the younger girls. Here's how it looks today after many more years of love.
