I sketched out a simple design and let Megan pick our fabrics from my stash for the chevrons in pink, grey and yellow. She chose this pretty fabric, by Lori Holt, for the quilt backing. The baby's sisters think that her name will be Violet, but I know better. I wish that her name was going to be Rossie, after my grandmother. Or Charlotte, because I love that name. But, it's neither I've been told. It's a secret, you see.
I wish that I could guess the it. I know that it will be a charmingly vintage name to match Jane and Lula. And it won't be really popular. However, it is on a list (could it be this one?) of the top popular "old fashioned names", I hear. Can you guess? Leave a comment with your favorite, and if it turns out to be correct, I'll send you a little prize, how's that!
This posts's title made me giggle. "I'll never forget ol' whatshername." The quilt is going to be lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love the names Jane and Lula! My guess is Olive. :)
I'm going to guess Adelaide.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm guessing her MIDDLE name will be Rossie - fingers crossed! And I hope she's due on her due date - what a celebration that would be! The quilt looks very interesting so far, Carla.
ReplyDeleteI guess Rose....though it's tough to guess names without a last name attached to it. I just love those old-fashioned names!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'm going to pick Cora. {maybe they like Downton Abby?} Love your quilt idea!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt will be wonderful! My granddaughter's name is Evelyn (we call her Evie). Her middle name is Veronica, after my dear mother-in-law. Veronica is the patron saint of embroiderers!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Opal :) I love old-fashioned names!
ReplyDeleteLoving your quilt!
How lovely that baby Matilda (my guess) will be born on your 40th Wedding Anniversary! Your pink, yellow and grey quilt will be wonderful- I love that colour combination! I even have a pinterest board for all things yellow and pink! Now I will be able to add your quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Adelaide..love those old fashioned names!
ReplyDeleteI see two Adelaide. I love Addie, which could be short for Adele. I also like Hillary, but that won't do because of Hilary Clinton. Okay, this is such a great topic, I have to throw out one more... Millie. Millie goes well with both of the other girls names.
ReplyDeleteI did 2 chevron quilts last year for my great nephews. They are so in right now. I'm going with Ava - seems to be popular in Pensacola. Love the fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteIda? Love your design! How exciting....can't wait to hear!
ReplyDeleteLove your design! Beth is a classic name I love.
ReplyDeleteLove the chevrons! How about Margaret?
ReplyDeleteCute design. Maybe Clara for the name?
ReplyDeleteSweet post, and sweet anticipations!!! My first thought for a name was Adele, old fashioned and my great aunt's name...or Frances, my great grandmother's and my niece's name...or Kate, so sweet. (Although Cindy's observation of Cora seems a very good fit! But not an "official" guess of mine!) Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Opal....
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Ada because that's my moms middle name ; )
ReplyDeleteFun! I looked at that list when we were thinking of names (we chose Lois!) - I'm going with Clara
ReplyDeleteI hope it's Agnes!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking maybe Mary? Or Anne? Love the quilt plans!
ReplyDeleteIt must be Beth. Simple sweet, one syllable. I will be thinking of you on your birthday, your anniversary and when Baby Violet Beth arrives.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's name is Hannah...it is an old name (family name even for us) and it suits her. That would be my guess! HANNAH!
ReplyDeleteYou know my guess!! ELEANOR! :) Vintage and not popular as name requirements means that your daughter and I would get along fabulously. Congrats, friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess Tillie. My 4yo niece is Matilda and we call herTillie. Old fashioned but it popular. My 9yo daughter is Amelia which I loved because its so pretty. It's also an old name. It wasn't popular when I named her but now it makes it onto the most popular names list! I love chevrons. Your quilt will look beautiful. I was born on Easter Saturday 36 years ago, April 9th, and married on Easter Sunday 12 years ago, April 15th. It's a great time of year!
ReplyDeleteI guess Ruby or Cora. Actually, Cora is a favorite for me because I have a 2 year old grandaughter named Cora. One of my daughters is also pregnant, but doesn't want to find out the sex ahead of time. So we are also thinking baby whatitsname.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna guess Olive. That's what my gut told me. I see some other people said that, too. I think the commenter above could be right with Ruby or Cora, too, though. My husband's cousin's daughter's name is Cora. Very cute.
