Well, I finally finished the baby quilt for my niece to be. Here in the photo, Lily is playing Vannah White to display my latest creation. It's actually a pretty simple quilt top... just strip piecing. I totally love the floral print border. It's hard to see in the picture, but the squares pick up all the colors in the border. It took me longer to bind and tack all the layers than sewing the top. The back is quite bright. I pieced the two brightest fabrics from 3 large scraps that were leftover. I'm so pleased that I completed the project before little missy is born. Now it's back to wrap up the Noah's Ark quilt that I've been making for my nephew, Beck. It's a bit more complex with applique. Hopefully, I'll get it done before he graduates. He's only 2 and a half, so I have a few years.Monday, April 27, 2009
