My Grammy made us all baby quilts when we were born and it was something special that we all horde now. I wanted to make something for the princess to horde when she arrives. I decided a zig zag pattern would be just my speed esp, when it comes down to quilting it.
All of my pieces cut out and ready to go! I love then when they are in a neat stack. I don't know what it is.
Binding quilts is one of my favorite parts of the whole process. I love how with one quick flip it goes from "eh" to "Oooo!" I binded the edges of this quilt with Minky dot. I had zero problems with the Minky as a binding. My only regret is maybe I should have done the binding a dark green or grey color. Maybe she will love it so much she will wear out the binding and I will have to replace it later and then I will switch it.
So here she is all finished!
Please take notice to the zig zag stitches on the back of the quilt.
And whala! All done and ready for the princess.
Now I am ready to move on with projects. Unfortunately there is an adorable fabric that I would love to make a car seat cover with but it is a ripoff... $15 dollars a yard?! Who do you think I am Miss Quilt shop lady? That's alright, I have Christmas to worry about first and then I'll focus on that later. Anyway, I will talk to everyone later, bye!
Oh and P.S.
And just a little bit of randomness but my favorite songs lately have been Good Feeling, Holly Jolly Christmas, 5 Oclock, Party Rock Anthem, and I'm Sexy and I know It. But do not look up the official music video of the last song because it will disturb you for life.
