Shabby Chic Pinwheel Baby Quilt & Matching Elephant -that I made for a special girl that I watched grow up in to a beautiful wife and mother. I used the satin binding because when she was little she used to rub together anything satin to go to sleep. I used the scraps and sewed them together to cut out the pattern for the elephant (http://birchfabrics.blogspot.com/...)

That's a beautiful gift, love them both!
Hugs, Lidia

The colours are lovely and your work beautiful. My youngest daughter used to do the same thing with anything silky.

Well done on both items, they are gorgeous. Love Chris

Since I don't quilt, this is quite lovely, the little elephant is too.

What a special gift to show your precious memories.

It's definitely a special gift for a girl who is still lodged in your heart. Great job

Thanks fir sharing. Love the quilt. Pinwheel quilt is my favoruite

Sweet quilt. Love the shabby chic prints! My daughter did the same thing when going to sleep.

What a beautiful, thoughtful and loving gift. The colors are so soft restful. Your memories of the young mother as a child will mean so much to her when she receives this gift. It is the small things in life such as how you remembered that she would "rub together anything satin to go to sleep" will surely tug her heart strings. A beautiful blanket and sweet little elephant. Thank you for sharing.
