You will find I included my daughter’s first gown, pacifier, doll, ballet slippers, bib, hat, shirt and Jersey Girl onesie. My daughter’s name is also embroidered on the bottom middle square (I covered her name in the picture for confidentiality purposes) along with the year.

I could certainly use this quilt, but since it is such a beautiful show piece, I have decided to hang it in my daughter’s bedroom. All of those “first” things would have ended up being boxed up and placed in my attic. Instead, I have now turned those precious items into a beautiful quilt for all to see. And the best part is that my daughter will have it for life!

I took these pictures close up so you can see the detail and workmanship of this quilt. From every seam down to each square, this is truly a beautifully made product of high durability and quality, something that will remain in my family for years to come.

There are so many different ways you can personalize these quilts and there are so many options available; you have choices in fabric, colors, sashing, size of each square, etc. The customer service department did a fantastic job turning my vision into a reality. Take it from me, nothing is impossible at Campus Quilts! If you have an idea, they’ll make it happen. They even create photo quilts, based on your own digital photos. How awesome is that? You can find a bunch of ideas from this page here.
