The beauty of the quilt is that I could invite friends and family to help me with it. See, there are twelve squares, so I chose my family members and a few close friends to decorate one square each. My sister gave me her square yesterday, so I had a chance today to finish piecing the quilt together. I'm so pleased with how it came out! Plus, I know that this is something Leah can hold onto for a long time, and each time she looks at it, she'll be reminded of all the women who loved and cared about her before she was born.
The cousins also had a chance to contribute. I had some extra squares (practice squares, really) that they had a chance to decorate/ color. Mom suggested I use those squares to make a baby doll blanket for Leah. So, that's what I did. Granted, I had to do a bit of piecing since the squares were different sizes, and I didn't have enough backing, but all in all, it'll make a nice little baby blanket. Plus, again, it was made by loved ones.
So... without further ado, here are the pics of the finished products. Thank you again to all who contributed. I couldn't have done this without you!
