Kaiya's Double Nine-Patch

At about the same time my sister’s first grandchild was born, my mother and I snapped up two baby quilt kits on sale at Corn Wagon Quilt Company in Springville. They’d been sitting in a south-facing window too long, so I had to fussy-cut around the faded folds. I think I used some of the greens and most of the blues from both kits to make Michael’s quilt, which somehow I never photographed. (If you make a quilt and no one takes a picture, did it really happen?) I made this quilt for a friends’ granddaughter out of the pinks and greens that were left over. I believe each of the twelve blocks were nine inches, which would make all those little pink or green squares 1” finished. Michael turned eight this spring, so Kaiya  might be ready for kindergarten this autumn. It never ceases to amaze me how fast children grow.
