...Gorgeous blanket!!

 My mother-in-law made this beautiful quilt for our bed

for Christmas.  She told us last spring that she would like to make everyone 

a large quilt and that we needed to let her know what fabric

we would like her to use.  I told my husband about it and then promptly forgot.

Until August, when she came to visit and mentioned it again.

So we headed to the fabric store that night, along with my sister-in-law who

had also forgotten all about the offer.

I went around and around the cotton section of the store, trying to decide on what

we wanted.  Since we haven't ever decorated our own room & Kidney Bean said

he didn't care, the world was, if you will,

my oyster.

I think I picked out at least 4 different combinations, but had a difficult time

deciding which one I like the most.  And then I decided to go with the 

pink combo.  I love it.

At first, my mother-in-law was like, "It's your quilt.  You can have

what you want."  She didn't like the combination of fabrics

that I had chosen.  But after she cut the squares & we laid them

out together, she started to really like it.

My mom sent us the pillow cases and the throw pillows, 

which she made out of the same fabrics.

Here's a closer picture.

And it's super warm.  We put it on our bed the night we got

it in the mail & it's been nice and snuggly ever since.

Thanks, Mom!

Both of you!
