Two-Patch Variation



“When a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who aren’t sure what they are.” My second grandson made his debut late Tuesday night. His big brother is at our house while his mom is in hospital, so there wasn’t much time to make an elaborate quilt block. Instead, you get this simple one and some excerpts from James M. Barrie’s Peter Pan: “She flew away with Peter in the frock she’d woven from leaves and berries in Neverland. He never noticed; he had so much to say about himself. She had looked forward to thrilling talks with him about old times, but new adventures had crowded the old ones from his mind.”
