What a quilt looks like after 8 years of LOVE

Here is what a quilt looks like after 8 years of LOVE!

My first quilt ever made, when I was pregnant with my daughter.

The borders are gone and so it most of the binding.

It’s been patched together several times and those are the only parts that are left of the corners and border

I don’t know WHAT is holding this still together, it must be LOVE!!

and it’s Sooooo soft 🙂

I’ve given my daughter other quilts since this one but she won’t let go of this one.

I’m saving bits of fabric that have fallen off, maybe I’ll stuff those inside “something” when this thing falls apart completely and she needs something as a replacement.

We’ve been telling her we’d get a shadowbox and put this in there while it’s still somewhat intact, but she won’t let us do it, she still sleeps with it. SIGH!! 🙂

I’ve been working on the foundation blocks for Quilt it today, rows are done and I’m sewing those together- can’t show 😉
