Garden Bloggers' Muse Day (a little late)

My Winter gardening efforts are often reflected in the bit of quilting I try to accomplish. I found this quilting poem online. There was no title nor was credit given an author. Finally you'll find a photo of the quilt I'm finishing for one of my granddaughters (age 2). :-)

I've been told that a quilt is not supposed to be "perfect." So, if you look closely you'll find that mine is not.

A Quilting Poem
author unknown

This quilt is made of cloth and thread
To place upon your little bed.
It's not an heirloom-just to keep,
But to lay upon as you count sheep.
Or perhaps the floor's the perfect place
For a doll and teddy picnic space.
This quilt can be anything you can dream-
From superman's cape to the robe of a queen.
Pretend it's a raft adrift at sea,
Or just cuddle up when you watch TV.
So use it up and wear it out-
I promise I won't yell or pout.
Just tell me when its days are through,
And I'll make another, just for you.
