Nora gets her quilt

I must give lots of credit to Sarah, Nora’s mom, for the colors as these are what she chose. When I had a choice about color placement (order of the borders), I sent her mockups from the Electric Quilt program and she chose which one she wanted.

It’s always fun to watch someone giving a gift to a recipient. We had the privilege of watching Becky give a quilt that she had made for Nora, my 2 year old granddaughter,

Nora, at 2, loves unicorns, and her two older sisters have quilts with unicorns on them.

So, she decided to adapt our “showcased” pattern and make her a colorful quilt. Enjoy the photos as you watch a 2 year old get a beautifully fun quilt.

Nora was naming all the colors on the quilt. She had a lot of fun holding the quilt when it was all folded up. She gave her “Aunt Becky” a hug and told her “thank you.” It was precious!

Later on in the day Sarah put the quilt on her bed (which is on the floor) … and then all 3 of the girls enjoyed it!

Added by Becky -
Thank you, Rachael, for sharing these photos here! I’d already forgotten that you took them.

To everyone -

If you did want the Showcased pattern, you can get yours here. It works well for the narrow 24”x42” panels that are so common nowadays. The original pattern shows a horse and uses white around it. In this one I did add an extra outer border to make it bigger and you can see what I did to the top and bottom. My niece wanted it to be bed sized.

Sarah gets the credit for choosing the colors.  Sarah is Rachael’s daughter and Nora’s mom.  All I had to do was decide what order to put the colors - and even at that, when not sure, I sent Sarah a couple of choices and asked her to choose.

Have a great day wherever you are reading this!

Thanks for coming along on my quilting journey with me!
