Pattern Description:

You can never tell someone you love them too many times. Let this rag quilt reassure your little girl every day how much you will always love her. The soft flannel and pretty hearts will captivate her now and when she is older the words will comfort her. This is a keepsake quilt that will grow more soft and cuddly with age.

'I Love You' quilt is so soft and not too heavy because flannel is used in the inner layer instead of a heavy batting. Because you quilt as you go the quilt is finished fast, easily a weekend project.
This is a very fun quilt to make and will be very different from the average pattern. Sure to get noticed!
