Baby Blanket

As you know, my first grandchild - a granddaughter - is due to arrive in April. I started making this blanket at a retreat before I knew she was a she.  Frankly, I was still getting used to the idea of being a grandma.

Over the past several weeks, the blanket came together piece by piece and peace by peace.  There is definitely something therapeutic about making a quilt. As I was sewing along, I imagined the baby.  Her little lips, her little nose, her red hair - because in my mind she has red hair.
The baby, became a baby to me and no longer just the idea of a baby.  Does that make sense?  Aaron and Tasha's daughter.  Josh and Sara's little niece. Our granddaughter.
I added minkie on the back for extra cuddles and quilted it in a design that I had never tried before.  I don't think she'll notice my mistakes.
 The only thing left to do is add a label and the baby:)
