I Like Cake

Birthday quilt

Tonight I’ve been working this little number:

It’s time for another candle

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!

    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!
