The rods in the eye, the black-and-white receptors, develop first, and soon after come the cones, the receptors for colours. These black & white quilts are made for infants and designed specifically to stimulate the baby’s color development. Pretty neat, huh? I actually adapted this pattern for the quilt, stitching only the black parts in the chart, leaving off the wording, the grass, the butterfly. Then I added a border in two lines of half cross-stitch to create a chevron effect and help fill out the square a bit.
I am delighted that I've reached my charity stitching goal for the year! Each month I completed one quilt square, one bookmark, one ornament and one crocheted hat. Oh, yeah! And I still have time to stitch some Christmas ornaments for my family.
