This is the 6th time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am participating, and the Festival</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the reason I decided to start blogging!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I am featuring a baby quilt </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made for my cousin Lisa's baby girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a panel front,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I enjoyed putting together the back and label!</div>

The quilt I have chosen to share</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is very special to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made it for my wonderful daughter</div>

Marisa,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who just finished her Freshman year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at Syracuse University.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a T shirt quilt made from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
old, favorite T-shirts of her childhood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, it has wonderful novelty fabrics,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
many of which she helped me pick out!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was quilted by Melinda at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://melinful.blogspot.com/">Melinda Quilts Etc</a></div>
