    I had originally planned to make this for her for Christmas, but I found the material I wanted early and decided to whip it out real fast for her birthday. This is the first quilt that I have handstitched the binding down... It survived the washer and dryer without falling apart, lol! I'm thrilled!

    the backing ended up a little crooked

    my first label... unfortunately you can see how horrible I am at hand sewing, lol

    She will love it. A quilt actually made by a Granddaughter?
    Precious!! And I'll bet she will brag about it all the rest of her life.

    That was so sweet of you to do that for her. She's lucky to have such a loving Grand daughter.

    Very pretty. It's always nice when the quilts don't fall apart in the wash.
