"Fat Baby" Flannel Quilt

My nephew was born on my birthday, March 1st. He was early, due June 12th and weighed only 1 lbs 11 ounces. He is doing very well now. He is still in the hospital though, but they now call him "fat baby", because he now weighs a whopping 4 lbs 3 ounces : ). So what do I do? make another quilt : ) I took a bunch of flannel shirts from my brother-in-law (his dad) and cut them into squares. Using a jean looking sheet that I purchased from Target for five dollars for the edging and back.

PRETTY COOL! My nephew was that tiny when
born in March when he was due in July, he was fiesty and is a happy healthy 15 year old boy. He did
have child asthma and it went away. You are very
talented and creative how lovely a keepsake to gift him.

Hi Tracey,

You were very inspired, and I applaud your diversion of energy. It is a lovely quilt. You could have sat
and worried, but instead used the energy to make
something wonderful. Good for you! I hope that the little one continues to grow and thrive. Sounds like he has a very loving family waiting for him to grow into. God Bless you all.
