Don't apologize for a messy background. That's life being lived! The helper standing behind is cute, too. And the children are adorable. By the way, I also love the quilt. Beautiful colors.

Gorgeous quilt and gorgeous kids too! I love that Easter outfit on the little girl. Too cute.

Ha....i didn't even notice the background...i was too busy looking at the great quilt and adorable kids !!! Lucky grandma!

Nice Maple Leaf quilt. Love your colors.

Quilting happens in real life! Love the quilt and the background!

What a beautiful quilt! And cute kids, too!

First-great quilt!
Second-what mess? All I see is a couple of very cute kids!

Thanks. I love how you arranged them. It made me look twice at this quilt--it's beautiful!

And I figure the ones who are going to take the time to criticize anything in your pic showing signs of life/activity are just jealous 'cuz you have "life going on" around you. :) Ignore them. :D

I love your color variety! You did an awesome job on this!!

Very nice quilt, and I'll take that adorable little girl any time you want to let her go. lol
