The Quilt my Grandma started

When I was pregnant, I remember seeing my grandma working on these squares with little fishing kids. I hoped she was making a quilt for me. A couple years later, I asked about the squares I had seen her making. Since no one had a boy she just put them away into a closet. Also, one of the squares was cut a little short, so she didn't think anyone would want it. My cousin and I are shocked by that statement, since we love everything our grandma makes. I got the squares and sewed little hearts on their pants and put flowers and bows on the hats of the little fishing kids. Then, my mom and I went to three or four fabric stores to pick out fabric to finish the quilt. It's almost done now. I just need to finish sewing, the actual quilting part, to put it together.
Taylor loves to play with the swinging doors at my grandma's house. We were not allowed to play with them when we were little. Taylor found out why one day when she pinched her finger. She has since been very careful.
I love that Taylor knows where all the toys and the picture books are at my grandma Peak's house. We always have a nice visit!
