As you all know, I love all things applique, so it makes sense that for this year's Fall Festival, I share a photo of my favorite applique baby quilt called "Comfort Is...".
When my daughter was a little girl she had a knitted blanket that her Nana made her, and she seemed to get so much comfort from that "blankie". Even in the middle of summer, she would have her "blankie" wrapped around her , with beads of persperation on her forehead, but she wouldn't let it go. She is a married lady now, but she still has her "blankie" tucked away in her memory box.
When I was designing this quilt, I had my daughter and her "blankie" in mind. I have it put away for her first child.
" Comfort is..." Finished quilt measures - 38" x 46"
