Today I finally finished my quilt. It feels so good to be done. I've been working on this thing for a long time. I brought my sewing machine back from California over the summer. I figured with Thursdays and Fridays off I would have plenty of time to work on some projects. I bought most of the fabric in California and some once I got back here, but never really started working on it until Thanksgiving. My sewing machine was giving me so many problems that I had to use Hillory Dahle's until I could have my mother-in-law look at it. Turns out I may just have had the bobbin in backwards! Hey, I don't have my owners manual so how could I know! I worked some more on it around Christmas, but I wasn't sewing the pieces together evenly so I was getting really frustrated. Travis' mom asked if I was pinning the pieces together and I admitted that I wasn't. "Well there's your problem" she said! Ok, ok, so after that I was very diligent about pinning! It's definitely not perfect, but I'm glad that it's done. You may notice that it's a baby quilt for a girl, but don't worry there is no bun in the oven. I just didn't want to take on a quilt any larger. And now that I've done this one I doubt I will ever take on a quilt much larger! 
The whole back is made with the white, raised dots called minky. It's super soft and velvety.

Hey I LOVE your adorable quilt. I didn't know you were so talented. :) You should send me the patern or just let me know where you found how to make it. I would love to make one! Maybe for a little baby. So if I would want it to be done for when the baby is born...I should start now cause I'm sure it would take me a couple years. haha Too Cute!!
Hey, I need your email address so I can add you to my comment list.
