Well, in case you don't know what I am talking about, here is what I posted last time:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-141112-1.htm

The deadline to enter quilts in the contest was yesterday. Well, since I posted on Friday, this has been my weekend, while trying to beat the deadline:

Friday work from 7:30 AM - 10:30 PM. Saturday work from wake up til 6 PM. Sunday church from 9:30-12:30 and 4:45 - 10:00.

Also, I had to reprint the border and label. And had to run to JoAnns for different skin color thread, as the one I had planned to use, didn't show up at all against the background fabric (it would have worked on the original planned quilt).

But, I did get done - with 35 minutes to spare! Whew!

Wish me luck. Did anyone else enter this contest? Would love to see your entry!

Yes, here it is. Notice it is backwards (I decided I liked the back side of the quilt better than the front).

My daughter doesn't like pics of herself, but she liked the hair! LOL

Oh, she did like the quilt - just not the subject. She said she thought the kids would like a portait of them.

So, now I have another "to-do"!
