My quilts don't have names ( why would they? my cushions don't have names either  :D)
I know they won't become heirlooms because...
 a) they're piled up in the workshop and no one ever asks to see them, let alone want them.
b) they're not well made enough to withstand time  :|

Looking up bus and train timetables I'm on my way to come and look at them! I might even want one of them!
Get the kettle on and a pizza in the oven! I'll bring the salad and the bottle of wine. :toast:

EDIT:  Can I think of a name for this quilt...   no :(

You could always call it 'my first quilt' of 'opus one' or something. Hopefully you've thought of one now. :)

I've made dozens but never labeled any of them.

If the baby is also a first born you could call the quilt 'First Born'.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

When I die ..... Mr Im is going to have one hell of a surprise when he dares enter the sewing/spare/art/wardrobe room!!

Not only at the amount of fabric I have amassed, way, way, way beyond SABLE but all the quilts and projects.

I'm going to put it in my will that each of The Dark Side Desperados, yes that means you, are to have a quilt or wall hanging (in the case of Low...  :devil:) and a big bag of fabric!!!

Of course they will be GREEN...

I'll start it next week!!

DOB and Imi,  we are old friends, and as such..you know where you can stick your g***n fabric bag and wallhanging ( ouch!  :o )
Vege.....norty norty with the coloured font  :devil:

Wrenkins....I   may have just mentioned, in the past, on the boards, that as far as I'm concerned g***n is the colour of the  :devil: and should never be used or seen  :x

Not content with pinching my "can't do hat " Iminei has threatened me with  the dire notion of a g***n w*******ing ( I can't stand them, either )

Good job we know each other well   ;) :ninja:

I like every other colour, even brown and beige, but I've always hated  :devil: :x It's unfortunate as I am an avid gardener  :D However, I grow lots and lots of colourful hardy perennials and only look at the flowers  :D
