After many, many months of planning, thinking, envisioning, and piecing, but never getting any further, I finally realized the baby that I was making this quilt for would be in kindergarten before I actually finished his quilt. So after finding some other lovely gift for baby Brayden, I decided this would instead become my first “for sale” quilt in my newly opened Etsy shop.

My wish to finally feel confident enough in my work to be able to put it out there as a quilt worthy of paying money for, was huge for me. Even though friends and family have been encouraging me to sell my quilts for a while now, I just wasn’t ready. This quilt is, for me, both the culmination and the beginning of a wish come true.
