I finished my first quilt!!
I did it! I finished my first quilt! 
This is a baby quilt I made for my 9 month old niece's Christmas present. I quilted it using a 'pretty' stitch on my machine and the stitch-in-the-ditch method. I stitched one direction in pink, and the other in white. (Partially because I ran out of the pink thread - d'oh! - but I think it looks kind of neat) The back is minky; I didn't use any batting because I didn't want it super heavy for a baby.
I'm really proud of how it turned out! And after seeing the finished product, DH suddenly wants one for our bed! LOL!

Wonderful first project, and for baby too. Very nice. I like that you didn't panic at running out of thread but instead adjusted your plan to make it work and so begins the creative side of quilting.
Great job.
