I mentioned in a previous post that I had finished the binding on a quilt while I was on our annual Presidents Weekend getaway in the Pocono's. I have finally taken the pix and posted them on webshots for your viewing pleasure. I also posted them on the Yahoo Group for the Get-It-Done folks. The quilt had not told me its name yet and I knew I would have to put something into the albums when I added the pictures. When you see the colors, you will understand.
The history behind this quilt was that I was taking a quilt class at my LQS and saw this baby quilt hanging on the wall. I fell in love with the pattern. It uses one large piece for the center and then the border is pieced. The pattern is called "Easy Peasy" and it really was. I chose the fabrics that I knew my daughter would love. And who could resist the focus fabric with those little angel faces. I loved the way it turned out but still had no name for it.
Then when I was adding the pictures to the Yahoo group album, I kept thinking that there was no compelling reason for making it; it wasn't a baby gift or a birthday gift, it wasn't a class project or even the colors I normally chose. I made it, well, just because. Just because I love my little grand son to pieces and hopes it brings him sweet dreams in his big boy bed and just because he has transformed my daughter into the woman and mother she is today. And so it has been named what it had been shouting to me all along - "Just Because". I hope you enjoy looking at the photos - just because.
