This sweet baby quilt originally started out years ago for myself when I thought we were going ot start a family. As time went by and the decision was made that we weren't going to go that route this time around, I decided the top needed to go to a family that loved the outdoors and fishies as much as I did. I was commissioned by a friend to make a baby quilt for a friend of theirs who happen to be fly fishing tour guides here in Bozeman, Montana, and I could think of a better home for my "Just Keep Swimming." So, to little River, whom this quilt is going to, I wish for you many wonderful adventurers!
This is such a wonderful pattern, I love it! I just jumped over here from the Aurifil FB page, awesome that they posted about your piece :)
