I hate doing borders so I have posted pics asking for help with them for this quilt with the top. Well, I just finished it and threw it in the wash, hopefully it will be dry in time, if not, she'll just get it not wrapped if today is her last day.

For those who haven't read the border post, I started a part time job on Saturday. The girl, 17, is 9 months pregnant an due in 2 weeks, so either today or next Monday is her last day. I'm her replacement and she was training me. As soon as I found out that I was replacing her, my heart told my head to make her a quilt.

So Saturday night I picked out the fabric (all except the borders) and started sewing yesterday. I had to iron some pieces and sew them together this morning as well as figure out the dang borders and quilt it. So looking at the top all put together, I didn't really like it, but now with borders and quilted, I like it a lot.

You can see my quilting job isn't that great, but that's what happens when you rush.

my mitered corners (first time!) and the puffyness as that was the only batting I had

the tag. normally embroidered by hand, but no time so it's a little crooked

Wow-that was fast!! It looks very nice and soft. The borders are great. I thought the stripe would look good and with the addition of the orange it is perfect. Such a lucky baby and mom to get this. You are a very generous young lady.

That is a really cute quilt. I like the pattern and the colors. I am also very partial to "puffy"! Think you are a sweetie for doing this.

What a great quilt. I think baby will enjoy that puffiness.

What a great job. I love how the striped boarder came out.

You did a fast work too. I am sure she will love it.

She loved it. When she came in I asked her when her last day was and she said next Monday. I told her I had something for her and she got very excited and asked what. I told her a surprise and she said "Go get it! We still have 5 minutes!!" But I brought it in and she said she'd wait til break to open it, but that lasted about 10 seconds. Everyone in the break room was oohing and ahhing. She also said it's the prettiest blanket she got. So I was satisfied.

And I try to incorporate a piece of scripture on each tag, my little way of spreading the gospel.

What a sweetheart you are to make this "rush" quilt ... and it doesn't look like a quickie job at all. Looks amazing! The baby will love the bright colors. Job well done.
