Baby Quilt

So I have 4 older sisters and my mom is the greatest quilter out there. She creates master pieces that are jaw dropping! When any of us has a baby, she makes an amazing baby quilt.

My husbands dad I TTC for a baby for 4 long years. I dreamt about what my baby quilt would look like, especially after seeing the works of art she’s given to my sisters.

Today was my baby shower and I was most excited about the baby quilt I’ve been anticipating. Well, when I opened it, I was really shocked because it didn’t look like her work at all. It was just four blocks sewn together. There was also a lot of pink and we are having a boy.... matches nothing we have. Nothing special. I hate that I can’t be in love with this quilt. It was supposed to be the focal point of the baby room but I’m so disappointed I don’t really care to have it out. I feel so bad that this is how I feel. I know I’m wrong.

It took my mom 7 months to complete my sisters baby quilt and it only took her 1 hour to do mine. She told me this like she was proud.

I guess I feel like she didn’t care to put the time in our baby quilt and it’s our first baby. I feel so heartbroken and like such a bad person for feeling so hurt over this. 😭 I’m a little nervous posting this on here bc i know people will think I’m not grateful but it’s so hard when you see all these beautiful baby quilts shes made growing up and now for my sisters but mine is such a slap in the face.

Ugh 😩
