Finished this today in time for her birthday party on Saturday, she'll be 10 years old.

I had enough of the backing and binding fabric left for the pillow. I used almost all of 20 FQs, didn't have enough of one color for the pillow case flange, so I used 6 different colors.

beautiful! I think I have seen this fabric collection on a certain website! May have to get me some!

Beautiful work! I'm sure she'll cherish it for years to come.

The fabric is Sweet & Sour from Connecting Threads. This uses the 20 FQ set but I didn't use the 4 white fabrics in the set.

There is a 25% coupon in Quilt Mag on pg 11 (sorry, I don't have it with me) for the samplers in 3 collections: Sweet & Sour, Sip of Summer and Cheep Talk. If you like, I can check when I get home and post the coupon code.

Wow!!! It truned out great. I love it.

pittsburgpam 02-19-2010 08:21 AM

Thank you everyone. :D I am so glad that I got it done and it will get the final test today... washing!

I need to find a box to put it in and get the label printed, I almost forgot that part.

Connecting threads has coordiinating labels for their collections. It has a purple border and the flowers like the backiing in one corner. I put the message in the center using MS Paint and will print it on a fabric sheet.

gaigai 02-19-2010 08:35 AM

I know that your granddaughter will absolutely love it, and is one lucky girl to have such a talented Gramma! Great job!

Love this ! Thanks for sharing !

Margie 02-19-2010 10:54 AM

OH PAM, you never cease to amaze me. Your work is always perfection! I cannot believe how fast you make these quilts. Everything you make is beeeeeeautiful!!

I am sewing challenged in sew many ways....SIGH...but I love it so I keep trying.

MissTreated 02-19-2010 11:26 AM

And a lucky grandaughter she is! Beautiful and a matching pillow case! Too cool!!!

Rachel 02-19-2010 11:28 AM

Adorable!!! the backing fabric looks awesome with the design on the front.

amma 02-19-2010 12:06 PM

Ooooo so pretty!!! DGD is going to love it!!! The pillow is beautiful too :D:D:D

pittsburgpam 02-19-2010 01:44 PM

Thank you all. It is out of the dryer and it is soft and wrinkly. I got the label printed and I'll hand sew that on tonight in front of the TV.

I don't think I sew any faster than normal, I'm just single and live alone, don't cook, don't pick up after anyone else, etc., so I have a lot of spare time after work.

If you want to see FAST... I am trying to make TWO quilts TODAY! A crib size and a small twin. I started out with washed fabric at 9:00 this morning and I have about 40 blocks completed.

redquilter 02-19-2010 02:05 PM

Nice going Pam. She's gonna love it.

jewelps 02-19-2010 02:08 PM

very cute, love that backing
