For baby Emme....

In November, there will be a new member of the Werner family. My hubby's brother and his wife having a baby girl! We're so incredibly happy for them, and for our little ones to have another cousin to play with. I've really been thinking lately how special it feels to get a homemade gift. So, today I made this quilt for our new niece. When I saw this fabric, I was really excited! It's a breast cancer awareness fabric, and it's beautiful. It really has special meaning in this instance. The new baby girl is going to be named Emme Ruth. Ruth is my husband's grandmother who passed away some years ago. She was an amazing, fun, lively woman! We miss her dearly. She had fought breast cancer earlier in her life, and beat it. So I figured it'd be nice to make a pretty gift, with a bit of a special meaning. My hubby liked the idea, and maybe the family will to. Regardless, I hope the sweet little one will love this blanket as much as we already love her!
I have no idea what the pattern is, if it's even a real pattern! I just had a certain amount of fabric on hand, knew about how big I wanted it, and drew out a diagram of how to place the squares. It was SO much fun, and from cutting to finish (well, this stage of finished!) it only took a couple hours. YAY! Now for the borders and binding! ;)
