I was sitting here yesterday thinking of the new baby that we will be blessed with in a wee bit. I was thinking how nice it would be to have a homemade quilt. then I got thinking....what if my farmgal pals sent me a square that I could piece together to keep my baby warm.
I would love it if you gals could send me some kind of square 3 1/2 x3 1/2i would then get my neighbour to show me how to "piece" it together.
I would gladly send you something in return for your troubles...thanks:)

Hi Melanie,
Well I got your squares off in the mail today. I also sent you a booklet on hand quilting, it just goes over the basics but I thought you might like it. I personally just tie off baby quilts because they get so much abuse and are washed a million times. I have no idea how long it will take to get there. I included two blocks and they are oversized, but you can cut them to whatever size you want. Best wishes,

I will send you a square today as well. When I was prego all my griend decorated a square and then my aunt sewed it together and I got a beautiful "love quilt". Would you like a plain square or something created for your little farm boy?

Mel, I got behind on some stuff here on the farm. I just mailed out my tea cup swap and your squares and the pillowcase swap are next on my list. I plan on having them in the mail soon, hopefully tomorrow. Have you got lots of cute squares so far?

go to your first post and click on the pencil to edit your post and place the 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 in place of the 2 inch as people may not read this far into the post to know you changed your mind on what size just at the bottom of your post put
update decided 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 is better thanks
take care
sunshine
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

thank you so very much for the great response. I can't wait to start piecing the squares together. Instead of dolly Parton's song, "my coat of many colours" I can sing "my quilt of many colours" to the baby!!
oh, the size I've decided on is 3 1/2 x 3 1/2.

Oh My Gosh - sign me up - send me the address you wish the fabric to be sent to and I will send out immediatly. I love this - my sons are 24 and 21 but I still remember the first quilt I made for each of them. I will send all the blessing and heart felt hugs from the Funny Farm to you and your bundle.
New Life is such a wonder..mine these days have four feet but two feet is just as special.

Yes , please send me your address, i would love to send some squares as soon as you decide on a size. I think 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 would be a great size for a baby quilt, they are such fun with different squares from far flung places. You will have a great time making this, and it will be good to have a creative project while you are waiting for your little sweet potato to show up....
