This was not the original quilt. I had one that I truly loved but the blocks were separated from each other. I am determined to get the blocks back together and make him a quilt from it before it's all said and done.
I took all the fabric to my friend Linda's home we had them all over her dinning room table. So glad she has a large one! We picked carefully what to do. I wanted to keep the colors toned down .. so the adventure began.
This quilt was all about Texas in a so many ways. On the back I had put on giraffe fabric (okay it's African looking) but hey if you ever been to the Houston Zoo you would know they have a fabulous African Exhibit that the giraffes are apart of. So it worked.
I also added a very special block on to the back and Richie was the first to receive it. It's a blue and white block that my great grandmother Neal made out of my grandfather (Paw Paw)'s baby clothes. The block is 100 plus years old.
I hope he loves his quilt. I put a lot of thought into his... what speaks of him.
