Nap quilt

One of our DDs has a friend whose toddler DD goes to the same preschool as DD's younger son. Said little girl has been using one of the school's generic blankets when it's nap time. I happened to have a preprinted alphabet panel lying around, so that little girl will now have a quilt to take back to preschool next semester. It's a very simple little quilt



-- just the panel, some borders and very basic quilting. It's at . Now perhaps I should start getting things done about our family's Christmas? ;)

That green border really sets the panel off. It actually looks a lot like the lime green that I used for DD Attic Windows quilt.

Precious quilt, wonderful panel. I can remember when there were very few little folks panels available and they were mighty flimsy. I'm so glad you made sure that little friend has a 'real' naptime beauty. Polly

I figured that most children like bright colors .... ;)

I know -- it boggles the mind, doesn't it? ;) But I just didn't have time to do any intricate quilting on this one.

Thanks, Lisa. :) I wouldn't make one for just anyone, but this little girl is simply adorable. ;)

You never fail to surprise me with your work! Looking at the panel, I would never have picked out that glorious emerald green for a border. Marvellous! It's a beautiful blankie. She'll love it. . In message , Sandy writes

Oh, Sandy! What you have done for this precious little girl.... you made her feel like she fits in. A quilt does many many small wonders.

What a lovely idea, and a terrific job on the quilt, too! I'm so glad you didn't do traditional Pink for her. She will just love it, i'm sure! amy in CNY

Thanks, Donna. I just happened to have this panel and happened to ask if she had a nap quilt ....

I honestly don't know what colors are her favorites, but I did put a "feminine" pink/green floral on the back, just in case. ;)

Thanks, Pat. :) It actually already had the green and white checks as a "fake" border, so the green (it's really green-on-green dots, but you can't see that in the photo) worked out quite well.

Adorable, Sandy! I'm so glad the little one will have a blanket of her very own. :-)
