 Earlier I wrote about working with some pre-cut hearts to make my latest quilt project. This, too, will be a baby gift quilt. Years ago when my youngest son was in college, a few of his friends moved in with us. Our house at that time was a 100 plus year old white elephant with 11 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 5 fireplaces. Five of the bedrooms were on the third floor, an area that we never really used before the boys moved in so  it wasn't as if anyone got displaced or disturbed. I was pretty strict with them about some things such as noise and they were completely responsible for their own spaces. 

Now more than twenty years later, one of those young men is married and expecting his first child sometime in late spring or early summer. In the colder months in Alaska where he lives now he works as a heli-ski and back country tour guide and in the warmer months if he needs work he does construction for his father-in-law. So this little quilt will end up in Alaska.

The picture above shows the little quilt in its current state, so not finished.
