"Y2K Quilts: A Millennial Celebration"

"My Millennium Quilt" (82" by 96") machine pieced machine quilted Quiltmaker: Alice Wallenberg Palacios, TX Artist's Statement: "To the family of Daniel Browning, my wonderful son. To my Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren. I am your Grannie Alice and I made this millennium quilt for you. It is called that in honor of this new Century 2000 and also because there are 2000 pieces of fabric in this quilt. The ladies in the blocks below traded this fabric with me. They are some of my Internet Quilting Friends. I made this quilt for you in March 1999 and I plan to sleep under it on December 31, 1999. None of you are born yet, but if I could, I would give you lots of hugs and kisses and homemade cookies. I put all of my love for you into this quilt and when you sleep under it I want you to feel soft and cuddled and very very loved. This quilt is made up of 2000 2.5" charms, including a charm of the blue 2000 fabric border and binding. I made this quilt for my grand and great-grandchildren which I do not have yet. I made this quilt so that they could see how I celebrated the new millennium."
