Quilting Plan for the grandbaby quilt.

DD told me yesterday that her nursery plan will be elephants. Long story short is she has a baby blanket given to her that was our nephews when he was born. She has stubbornly kept that blanket all these years. Even when he had kids and I suggested he might want his girls to use it she told me that was "her" blankie. So it will now be framed and hung in the nursery. So I am making Peanut (my nickname for the little one) a new elephant quilt. The drawing is rough but you'll get the idea. I am not good with paper and pencil sadly. Oh and the three things on the bottom left are the very spoiled dog and cats. Her colors are light green (but not mint), yellow, and gray. The heart balloons and the cornerstones are going to be red. I also think I will do the hearts, the ears, and the tails in wool, possibly the dog and cats too. What do you think?

It's going to be cute! On the wool... just make sure it's all washable!

good thought! I have some I bought awhile back to make something I never got around to making and have now forgotten what it was.....:whistle:....I will see if I can find out if its washable. I was just thinking the contrast would be nice.

When my oldest grandson was a baby, he LOVED the feel of different materials...everything from courderoy, to something furry, to something slick, to something nubby. He would love to do tummy time and just scratch his little nails over the different textures.

Love it!

Do you know baby gender yet? If it were girl I might put a bow on baby elephant tail for giggles. Not sure how I would do this since I think anything “ribbon-like” would wear out faster than other materials But then it doesn’t have to be True ribbon.

Love, love the babies in the corner.

Also, this alway ticks me off (lol). Be sure and “sign and date” your work). I made/asked my grandmother and great aunt do this on a quilt they made for me. What do they put? “GG and Auntie”. Snort. I have no idea on why that’s so important to me, I guess memories or some stuff.
