Zachary's Quilt

When Zachary, my second grandson, was born, I made him a quilt. The poem I used was one I have had in my files since I was a teenager.

It's from an obscure book, "At the Back of the Moon, 1871" written by George MacDonald, a Scottish author.

I worked out twelve spaces for the lines, drew them out in lettering on typing paper and outlined them in black pen, then set up a lightbox to transfer the letters onto bleached muslin.

Sorry for the slight distortion in the photo, the picture I have is from a quilt show. It's the only photo I have of it. The photos don't do the colors justice--fluorescent lighting in the show--the quilt is white and navy blue.

The quilt won a prize ribbon in crib quilts. Can't remember whether it was a first place or second place??? Oh, well, not important. Who it went to is important.
