Shay 25

I made this quilt for my oldest granddaughter's 25th birthday which is September 17. I call Shay my "angel" because she healed me from long years of heartache from giving a daughter up for adoption when she was born. When I saw that beautiful baby (Shay), the hole in my heart closed up and I felt whole again...after 30 years! Shay is tall, blonde, gray eyed, and beautiful. I love her with all my heart, just as I do all my grandchildren, but Shay began the healing process. I made up the pattern for this quilt. Because I was so new at quilting when I began this quilt, I started with a pattern, but as it went along and I made so many mistakes, it gradually took on a life of its own. I can't say this resembles the pattern I started out with at all.
