When my nieces and nephew were babies, I bought each of them a quilt. They loved their quilts and were particular about spreading them out on their made beds to "showcase" them. Unfortunately, in February of this year (2015), their house burned down and consumed everything inside. It was a total loss. Being a novice (NEW) quilter, I just knew I had to make them each a new quilt to replace what was lost. I had told the children that what was lost was just stuff, and we would get them new and better stuff. They will all be moving back into the rebuilt house in August, and I plan to give them each their quilts for Christmas. I tried to make each quilt as individual and beautiful as each child. I hope they love them and cherish them for the rest of their lives :)

This quilt is so simple, but so stunning because of the fabric, which was a Daily Deal from MSQC. I made the double-layer prairie points out of one strip of fabric, so it is not only gorgeous, but easy! I'm going to back this with super-soft aqua Ultra Comfy fabric w/a layer of white flannel in the middle as batting to help the white pop. This quilt really just makes me happy, so it will be MINE once I get it all finished up!!
