Tonight I’ve been working this little number:

From their second birthdays, I’ve made all my kids a birthday quilt. It started out that way because that’s when I made the first one for my daughter. I’d seen something similar just before her 2nd birthday so made up my own design. Of course, as the first, hers is a little more elaborate. But they all love them. And every year, I put another candle on their cakes. How long will I do it? Until they tell me to stop. Might have to add more cupcakes. 🙂



Should I create a proper pattern?
I’ll be linking up with the good folks at:
Do drop in and see the beautiful things everyone else is up to.
Happy quilting!
Returning the visit…and now that you’ve been by my blog, you can imagine how much I love these cakes!! Adorable!!!
What a great idea! I think you are going to run out of room to put cupcakes and candles, because if it were me, I’d never stop looking forward to getting another candle. 🙂
Just like everyone else, I have to agree! This is a brilliant idea. And yes, you should share this as a pattern! It’s a hit!
What a wonderful idea! Oh yes, please do share!
awww! Thats so sweet! What a wonderful thing to do for your kids. I hope they dont tell you to stop until they are like 40ish!
What a lovely idea for your children to enjoy on their birthdays!
What a wonderful quilt! I love the idea of adding a candle on every birthday! You might have to add a cupcake, I bet your kids won’t ask you to stop! What a wonderful keepsake!
