I have to start this post out with thanking Nicky! Just a couple days before I was to leave for Michigan I was in a panic about what color binding to put on this quilt. So, knowing that Nicky had great quilt taste, I got a hold of her on Skype, held my laptop up to the design wall and we discussed the best option for binding. She came up with this color - one that I hadn't even thought of! Thank you Nicky!!!!!
So without further ado here are Sarah & JP aka Mom & Dad aka DIL & Son showing off the quilt at the party....
 |
| Is that not the perfect color binding? See those creases in my jeans? Does anyone know how to get those out? |
 |
| The quilting...straight line in a variegated pink thread |
 |
| The back...Sugar & Spice by the Quilted Fish for Riley Blake. This shows the quilting a bit too! |
 |
| The Roll Picture - mine "roll" pictures never look as modern as others....why is that? |
 |
| All folded up & ready for the gift bag!! |
This project is part of my Finish A Long list. Since I only had 2 items on the list I guess I am half way there. This week I am working on the tutorial and then I will see what I can get done on the other quilt on my FAL list. It was supposed to be a birthday present on the 17th of March - oops missed that!!!
Speaking of the Finish A Long....you might want to start thinking about the 1st and 2nd quarters. The 1st quarter will come to a close on March 31st and your plan of attack for the 2nd quarter will be due on April 7th. The 7 days in between those 2 dates will be chalked full of tutorials by some amazing people!! Just look at who will be posting tutorials this quarter:
Is that talent or what? It is going to be exciting and each quarter I have an equal amount of talent scheduled!
Enough for today....two days in a row has worn me out...hehehehe
It's gorgeous Rhonda! I think the rolled up quilt photo never works when it's your own. Whenever I see someone else's pic I think it looks great - like yours does. Whenever I try it myself it's always a bit so-so.
ReplyDeleteRhonda its fabulous! Lovely, and I'm sure Callee will adore it too.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Perfect binding!
ReplyDeleteFold your jeans different when they come out the dryer. The quilt is stunning and will be the first heirloom quilt of what I presume will be a huge pile of them by the time she is eighteen.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful quilt that is sure to be loved!
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute!
ReplyDeleteMy roll photos are never as cool as other folks too. We'll have to ask Sarah (Fairyface Designs) for a tutorial...hers always look great.
The back is a lot of fun as well. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for bigging me up there Rhonda! Glad to help but I think any option would have been great on this little charmer!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish!
Awe, you finished and gave it away to be loved!!! Mine's going as a Graduation gift this year! =) Lovely job.
ReplyDeleteI do love Callee's quilt. It is beautiful and I see many opportunities for teaching vocabulary. Lovely Miss Rhonda. PS -- I have never heard of a "roll" picture. Yours looked good, yes?
ReplyDeleteI have never gotten very bold with the back of my quilts but yours is so cute! Maybe I should branch out!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I have such a problem finishing quilts. But this is inspiring me.

That is a beautiful quilt for Callee! Good for you for giving it to her on time and all. I am thinking she might need a new one in a few years - maybe when she is 5 or 6, you might want to start that one any day now.
ReplyDeleteThe greatest and most long-awaited finish!!
ReplyDeleteFabulously done missus, and obviously just in the nick of time!
ReplyDeleteshe is going to love it so much! it is so pretty rhonda! beautiful finish my friend!
