I posted last spring about being in a wedding for my dear friend Alex... now I am an Auntie! I made this quilt in celebration of my new niece Isabel. My thought was to make a quilt that she can enjoy for years to come, so I steered clear of 'baby,' fabrics and instead chose the theme of strawberries and flowers. The yellow floral print in the top right corner is a remnant from a dress my grandmother made many years ago, and the fabric on the top right was imported for me from India via my dear friend Indu. There are 5 assorted strawberry prints, all of which were handed down by my mother, grandmother, and late neighbor Jean. One of the strawberry prints is 3D velvet! In short, there is a beautiful story behind nearly every fabric in this quilt, perfect for a new family heirloom.
