Attachment Parenting Quilt ... ongoing project

Attachment Parenting has been a huge part of my life since I became a parent in 2004. Day by day it grows stronger and I become more passionate about what AP means to me.
So when I started Colie Polie Quilting, it only seemed natural that I make an attachment parenting quilt. This was going to be a little of a challenge since the only symbols out there are for genital integrity and breastfeeding.... so off to Picnik I went to design a symbol for Co-sleeping/Bed Sharing and Baby Wearing.
Here is what I came up with:

Baby Wearing
Baby Wearing - Sling

Co-Sleeping / Bed Sharing
Now I am just working on getting them cut out and onto the quilt. Its not that big of a deal that the lines are blurry or that the colors dont match since I am cutting them out. I cant wait to get it all cut out.
I have a few ideas on how I want to put them into the quilt. Here is my first:

I would move all the hearts to the center and then add the symbols around the outside of the heart


and here is my second:

This one would be more straight forward. The 4 symbols in each square.



Who knows I may just decide to do both!

Since this is an ongoing project, I will just update this post as I my quilt comes together! Please follow my progress {here}
