Ruby's Quilt

A year or two before Ruby was born,
I was lucky enough to inherit some of
Carla's fabric stash. I loved the colors and
couldn't wait to one day use the fabric in a quilt.
Last spring, I decided to make Ruby
a quilt little quilt for her bed.
It's not exactly what I had envisioned
when I first got the fabric,
but I like the way it turned out,
and am glad that fabric isn't still
sitting in a drawer in the basement.

My mother-in-law, Carla,
did the beautiful machine quilting.

The quilt is going to be worn out by next week.
Ruby is dragging it all over the house.
On the one hand, it hurts a little to see the quilt
being dragged across the floor, and on the other hand,
I am so glad that she likes her simple little quilt.
