Made It: Mikaela's Quilt

I finished it! and it turned out wonderfully!! :) I had a few bumps and bruises along the way (like my horribly skipped stitches on the binding). But I got them figured out and it has been mailed and is *safely* on its way to its new home! I can't wait to hear how it is received! :)

the binding

I was nervous about my spacing of stitches, but I really like how the texture came out after washing it! :)

Neil decided to start making funny faces while he was holding it for me, thinking I wouldn't notice. ha.

This was the biggest quilt I've made, and in record time... It was a lot of fun, though I think I just might hold off on doing another this size for a while.

Linking up at Canoe Ridge Creations for Sew Modern Monday, and if I remember, at Quilt Story on Tuesday. :)

Mikaela's Quilt: Sneak Peak

My sister thinks it's so rude that I haven't posted any more pictures on my blog of this quilt. lol. :) So I decided that since I'm pulling it out to work on some more while the kiddos nap, I might as well give her a quick sneak peak! :) The quilting is half way finished... unless I decide to add a few extra surprises. ;) I'm trying to get it finished quick, but I also want it to be perfect! :)

the picture is awful, it's from my phone, but hey.... just image what it really looks like! I am loving it! :)
