This was another epic quilting journey. My dear friend Amanda had her daughter Ivy this past October. That is right, OCTOBER. I was pretty sick right before her baby shower and so wasn't able to quilt the baby blanket I made her in time. So I brought ti along and showed it to her , then promptly took it back to finish. Then my beloved machine broke on me and it was months - months! until I got a chance to bring it in to get fixed.
I had tried finishing it on my older machine. And while it did an 'ok' job on the small applique part i gave it... it wasn't stellar. I decided to wait.
You can't see a close up of the 'ok' applique part because... well because. maybe Amanda wont' notice. Or maybe she will and just think it ads to the charm....
However, I will show you a close up of the boarder fabric. Which I just had in my stash and I have no idea where it came from and this saddens me because I LOVE it. And yes I want more. (did you read that all in a breathless panicky voice?, Good) If you recognize this fabric please let me know the designer or better yet just mail me a bolt of it. Okay? Thank you. Moving on.
The finished Quilt measure 31 X 31 inches and I have to say it is charming. I could now go into detail about the Sunday I spent finishing it with Elizabeth and about all the things that went wrong with doing the binding and the dangers of leaving a quilt untouched for months on end without finishing it. But I won't bore you with that. You can thank me at any time. I'll instead show you a picture of the finished product shall I?!

Now the quilt is sitting on my desk at work waiting to finally present it to Amanda.

Ivy loves her quilt! She knew it was for her as soon as I walked in the door. Of course, she knows EVERYTHING is her her, lol! It is in her crib now, thanks so much for making it :)
