Dream Big Addison!

My first grandchild is on the way, so of course I made a quilt to document the joyful occasion. I love memory quilts and try to document as many special occasions with a quilt as possible.

My quilt Dream Big Addison! made her debut at Baby Addison’s baby shower. The adorable panel is perfect for her safari themed nursery, and I love the message of the quilt.

The panel makes the quilt but I added a sparkly teal border, a pieced border and a wild final border to carry out the theme of the quilt. After I quilted Dream Big Addison! on my Janome, I wrote her name, Mom, Dad, Granny, Penny and Barrett in my handwriting on the quilt to stress the importance of family. Penny and Barrett and her fur sister and brother.

There is a purple and yellow Arican print on the back that adds to the safari theme of the quilt and the color scheme of her nursery. There is a hanging sleeve on the back for easy display in the nursery and a label that documents the quilt. I signed it on the front.

I hope that from her earliest days of consciousness that she will begin to dream big.
