Baby blanket...kind of!

I've held onto something from each of my daughters babyhood to create a keepsake for them when they have children.



For my youngest daughter, I had made a quilt..totally hand stitched. Confined to bed during the entire pregnancy...i stitched and stitched... My plan had always been to hang onto this for her "keepsake."



Cass loves her blanket. The colors and style weren't made in a "babyish" way...so she has continued to use it for years....and years....and years...and then i STOLE it. After a quick run (giggling) through the house...with her in hot pursuit..i gave it back. She said it was the perfect weight and size for everything...folded into a great pillow...watching TV...etc.



And i get it...it is/was a good size. As she went off to college...luckily the quilt stayed home. In it's battered and very fragile state she was afraid it would be DISRESPECTED. Her words...she cracks me up.



I met up with her this weekend for a ball game at college and gifted her with a "new" quilt. It'll do mom...It'll do...big smile on her face. GOT TO LOVE THAT :)



p.s. of course, same size & weight!

I need your opinion!

Do you think i have a fabric problem?

I know i have a stuff problem...but is it really possible to have a fabric problem?

One never knows when you might NEED to make another purse, or bib..and isn't it good, maybe even slightly noble of me to be PREPARED and READY?

WHAT if...the stores ran out of my favorite fabric and i couldn't find it anymore? WHAT if there was some terrible bowevel outbreak and all the cotton was eaten (do they eat cotton and how does one spell that bug or disease ;)) What if all my clothes were destroyed (or didn't fit) and i wanted to save my husband money and remake them...have i made my case? What do you think? All comments not lining up with what i think WILL be kept from my husband.
