First Quilts

I spoke yesterday about my first quilts. Here is a picture of that first Mariner's Compass quilt. I also made a quilt for my first son. It took me about 5 years to finish it. As a matter of fact I took it to the hospital when my third child Mary was born and finished it there. That was when you stayed in the hospital six days to have a baby. The center of the quilt was from a baby quilt pattern in the Family Circle magazine. I took animals from coloring books to make the pairs of animals around the outside edge. When my oldest had a child I repaired the quilt and sent it to my grandson.
