Patchwork quilt made from pretty little girls dresses..

When my daughter was 3 years old she grew out of one of her favourite dress. I told her I would make a patchwork quilt for her bed with her old dresses.

So I set about making a patchwork quilt

I hand-stitched each little patch, this is the view from the back

 remember its not finished

I hand-stitched a few little messages on some patches

...and I stitched some bugs & bees too

I also used her pajamas (jimjams)

When my daughter was 10 years old she stopped wearing pretty dresses and would only wear jeans

So I stopped making the quilt

I packaged up the quilt into a cupboard with all my other unfinished crafts

My daughter is now 20 years old and has started wearing pretty dresses again

So I think I will start working on the quilt again...

Such a happy ending I think
