Next, wait nine months for a precious miracle to arrive and place her in the middle of the quilt. Of course, make sure you pick a cute outfit that will coordinate perfectly with the quilt :).
Watch your DS, your own baby, stare at the little miracle he has helped bring into the world.
Take about 50 pictures, searching for just the right one. Even if they're not perfect, they are still adorable.
Savor the moment, seeing your granddaughter lying on the quilt that spent weeks being planned and quilted and just treasure it. Change positions and get her eyes open for one moment.
Then watch as she drifts off to sleep - remembering she is only 3 days old.
So, in my life right now, I have made the perfect quilt! Until next time,
-Karen

What quilt? All I see is the beautiful baby. Just teasing a bit. Both creations go very well together. Enjoy every minute of it, Nana.
Be still my heart! I can totally relate. You've beautifully described the joy of being a quilting grandmother, accompanied by wonderful photos of that perfect quilt and your perfect little granddaughter. Hearty congratulations all around.
PS--our big sons are easily putty in the hands of their newborn daughters, and I haven't seen that change for 3 years :)

Perfect means it's a 10, and it is, both the babe and the quilt. I can tell that perfect means happily proud too, and rightly so.
She is beautiful, and so is the quilt, so, as you say, perfection.
