Well, here it is, lumps and all!!

It's not perfect, but it's done. I can't afford the quilting so i attempted to stitch in the ditch. Only my blocks didn't quite square up correct, so it's a little iffy in areas.

The back is a soft fuzzy type of fabric... I washed it first... it didn't shrink at all so I felt fairly comfortable putting it on the back.

It's wonderful Nepthys! So bright & cheery - I love reds & yellows together!

:D

I love the bear fabric. I agree that the reds and yellows look great together. For a first effort I think you did a great job. Wonky blocks just add character :) !

You did a great job! i can't afford to send mine out either, that's why i only make baby and lap quilts so I can quilt it myself! Keep up the good work!

This will go to my new nephew, who will be about 6 months this christmas. I had hoped to take it to him personally over thanksgiving but that fell through :( there was no place for me to stay.

So I'll have to mail it down.

sorry you didn't get to go visit but the quilt is fine, didn't see the iffys but that's how we learn, by practice, good job

That is a wonderfully warm looking quilt.
Quilts are not meant to be perfect (in my humble opinion). The loved stitched in every seam is what shows. This has the potential of being a favorite "blankie".
What's next?

Looks great - you really did a nice job on the binding, too.
