Finally!
I'm not sure why I feel like this has taken forever to finish since I only started it a few weeks ago, but I'm so glad to be able to move it into the finished pile. I really do love this quilt, and have had fun sewing along with other talented quilters.
Here is my "cheater" backing:
It was such a pretty afternoon after several rainy days, so the kids and
I went outside and got a little carried away taking pictures...
While I was trying to take these pictures,Wyatt was teaching Carson how to be silly...
Then I tried to get a real group shot and this was the best we could do:
Silly boys.
I'm so happy to be donating this quilt to the newly formed Terre Haute chapter of Project Linus. Hopefully someone else's silly baby can get some comfort through this quilt.
An enormous thank-you to Kate at Swim, Bike, Quilt for organizing such an amazing project. I can't even imagine the number of quilts that are being donated due to the 100 Quilts for Kids campaign, but I am completely amazed by the generosity of the quilters who have donated their time, talent, and supplies to this project.
A big thank-you to Megan at Canoe Ridge Creations for hosting {Sew} Modern Monday.
And yet another thank-you being sent to Jenna at Sew Happy Geek for hosting Manic Mondays.
One final thank-you to the girls at Quilt Story, Heather and Megan, for hosting Fabric Tuesday.
