TGIFF! My first time participating!

Okay, I don't think I've ever been more thankful for a finish. This is a quilt I started at the beginning of 2009. I was expecting our third baby. My sister knew I was planning a Beatrix Potter nursery so she picked up this quilt kit for me. I did all the cutting, piecing, hand quilting and I hand bound it. Let's just say that 'baby' is now 2-1/2 years old and she has a younger sister. Oh well, better late than never, or so they say. (By the way, who is 'they'?)


So because this quilt has taken so long and been dragged so many places while it was being quilted and bound, it took on a few unsightly spots. I washed it and this is how she looks now:





What can I finish next?

Linking up to Finish It Up Friday and TGIFF at Quilt Matters.

  5. So adorable! Yay for a great finish! And really your 2 and 1/2 year old is only just getting to the age where she can appreciate Beatrix Potter books anyways, right? Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
