Needless to say, when I went to put the backing on, I was 4-5" short. So then I had to piece the back. This was all the week before the shower. Needless to say, I was too frustrated to finish it. Now I am going for a visit and will hand deliver the quilt. I hope the baby and family enjoy these two quilts as much as we enjoyed working on it. If I figure out how to post picture, I will........
