A Bow for Clara

I like bowties, bowties are cool! - 11th Doctor

My cousins recently had little girl they named Clara. And whether or not they meant the Dr. Who tie, they'll be amused with my take on a baby blanket with some subtle references in it.

My very first attempt at real quilting was the baby blanket I made for their first child.
(Fun fact: After reading Little House on the Prairie when Laura made a nine patch quilt, my 9 year old self decided to make one out of scraps of cloth I had from projects mom had sewn. It was 9 squares and full of pieces of cloth for stuffing and just big enough to fit my baby doll, but I had sewn it all by hand and had never been prouder!)

Since I had made a baby blanket for their first born, I felt it necessary to make one for the second.

So here it is!
