Madelyn's Quilt

A few have asked who made Madelyn's Quilt. I cheated. Or should I say I chickened out of making it myself but I did attempt. While in the wait for Madelyn, in the wait for our new home, also in the wait to give birth to our bouncing baby twin boys, I participated in the quilt square exchange, took a quilting class and attempted to make it myself. I got frustrated with sewing it together and was in agony from being pregnant that I called it quits. I met our quilter, Cheryl, through a yahoo group of expecting moms due in April 2006.

I never knew then that Madelyn would also have an April 2006 birthday. I was due 4/10 with the twins (which is Logan's birthday) but they came 6 weeks early. Madelyn's birthday is 4/23. I was probably close to the same gestational date as her birthmother.

Here's my attempt at the quilt. I did get a little further than this but it still never looked as nice as the one we sent to Cheryl. I may one day finish the one I started. I could still start over too. I ended up with over 300 squares.
