Sometimes it's nice to remember why I started quilting. For me, it all started with a simple patchwork baby quilt for my firstborn. A handmade gift. Granted, a lot has changed in the past 7 years, but returning to those simple roots is still as gratifying as making some complicated paper pieced beast.

Good friends had their third - a girl after 2 boys. Her arrival gave me the chance to use these Bonnie & Camille Ruby and Bliss charms I had remaining from my Holland Breeze quilt.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Sometimes basic is best, I think.
