it just needs binding

 

Do you remember Benoît ? The huge blond man who works with us ?
He just had his second son. Yanael. Little Yan in breton. Has us all wonder who in the family is from Bretagne...
Benoît sais the baby is perfectly normal: Every time he sees his father he starts screaming at the top of his lungs.

I don't know if 'stacked coin' quilts are a symbol for wealth or not. The name sure makes me assume so. And I don't know if, that being the case, a stacked coin quilt and the implied wish for wealth is really something one should give a baby.

There seem to be a hundred better things one should wish a newborn.
But the stacked coin quilts are pretty, no matter what might be their symbolism. I like their simplicity and the way they are quietly colorful.

So I guess once this quilt is bound and finished, it will go to Yanael to accompany him for a while.
With my best wishes.
