Introducing................

I feel like I have a new bed when really it is a new quilt for my bed.  New,warm,snugly and...well.......nice!

I chose Kona Bahama Blue for the binding and it tied it all in quite well in the end.  I think the other colors are thankful!  I have some left over too..better than not enough right?

There is a light and airy feeling in the room presently.  Calm comes to mind:)  I am really enjoying the size as well----------------BIG!!!!

The white sort of worries me,but that is what they made a washer and dryer for I guess;)

Newsflash to myself I can hand quilt a whole quilt this size in about a month and 1/2 if need be and enjoy it!!!!  Because of the light thread I used to quilt it,it was not very photogenic---I tried!  I am very pleased that all my flower markings came out in the washer!!

All of the paper pieced blocks went into the backing,but I think they may have gotten lost a bit back there..you live,you learn.  A solid backing probably would have been the better route.  It's on the back:)  Who cares----lol!


finished these girls up the other day too...once those darn snaps are on it's all smooth sailing from there...but that darn snap press is something else!!  I snapped a pic right before the storm as you can see;)

:::::Ready for their debut at the craft fair:::::
