Violet's Quilt

After using fabric for Violet's weekly photos for her 1st year, we had a lot of fabric and weren't sure what to do with it.

My mom and I came up with the idea of making a quilt for Violet out of the fabrics. I have a hard time sewing a straight line so I turned the quilt over to my mom and let her have creative license.

She may have picked one of the more difficult patterns for the quilt but she wanted it that way. She decided on quilt squares made up if three different strips if fabric.

52 fabrics X 13 strips of each fabric = 676 strips cut out.

My mom is a sewing goddess.

She isn't finished with the quilt but she shared these photos of her work so far.

Isn't it amazing? I am so in love with how it looks. I look at these fabric squares and see my baby girl growing week after week. Sniff Sniff.

Here is baby girl in her 13 and 14 month photos. What should I do with these fabrics, hmmmm?
