Boulder wants a baby, part 2
Our homecoming with Charlie was emotional — not only were we home at last with a baby, our baby, despite staggering odds, but our friends inside the computer had given him a welcome that brought me to tears. That online shower, the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me, was masterminded by Boulder.
Boulder, like so many of us, is trying, after a devastating series of losses, "to have a damn baby." I want to help.
To that end, I'm making a quilt. This is a quilt I began while I was still pregnant with Charlie. It represents hours and hours and hours of work and thought, as each patch has been individually chosen for color and value. The finished quilt will have over 1,000 pieces in it. It is, I tell people, the quilt of my soul. I couldn't let it go for a lesser cause.
The quilt will be an estimated 60" square, composed entirely of high-quality cotton fabrics and batting, machine-pieced and quilted. Because of its dimensions, it's probably more suitable for use as a wall-hanging than a covering, but it will be fully machine washable, so you can use it as you see fit.
I estimate that it will be finished by the end of February 2006, though I ask your understanding if I have to revise that prediction as circumstances require. I'll post periodic progress reports and photos on my blog.

This. Is. Wonderful.
As someone that just lost #3 and is scheduling my first IVF consult I am more than happy to pitch in. Actually...come to think of it..."more than happy" isn't quite right. I'd be more than happy if none of us needed to do all this crap. But since we do, count me in.
