DMotyl

Well, I did take the evening off and went to bed. I woke up and could not go back to sleep soooo at 3 AM I began again and realized that my DH had actually fixed my new machine so that I can sew on it...(haven't tried embroidery yet...) At any rate 12 hrs later, I actually finished it. I love the quilt top, but don't like the backing or the quilting job. Of course this was a learning experience. Do not plan to make your label as part of the backing b/c the quilting may ruin its look. Also, be sure to measure twice then cut (I think I've heard that before....) If I had made my squares, that I added in the backing so it would be big enough, LARGER, then I would not have had to add the red on the sides. Oh well, hopefully the year old will build tents, go on picnics, and to the beach with this quilt. It should not be considered heirloom quality. :-P I have posted the pictures though I am not sure you can see the mistakes that well, but I guess that's good! :-D
