baby quilt
I finished the quilt!!
It's not really as wobbly as it looks in the picture. :) All in all, I am REALLY happy with it. Of everything there is to do with a quilt, the binding is what I was dreading the most. I was surprised (after I figured it out) to find that I kind of enjoyed it the most, and I loved the way it turned out. The last part, doing it by hand, was even sort of/kind of fun except for the looming deadline thing. I know it's super simple but I like it. I was worried after I first bought my fabrics (without a real plan for what the finished quilt would look like) that it would end up too dark, but it worked out well. Oh, and the backing is the same as the frame. None of the pictures that showed it too were really worth posting.
M says I have to make one for Evelyn too. And for him. And for my mom. And my dad. And... I really can't tell you exactly why he wants me to get into quilting. It's an expensive, fussy hobby, as far as I can tell. Having said that, the payoff is grand. It's a real item! That people tend to be interested in! No one usually cares about my pretty diapers except other diaper sewing mamas. I do have a plan for another one, so we'll see.
I am not entirely sure I want to give this one away though. :)
