This is my second quilt top, but the first quilt I finished. I wanted my daughter to be able to take it to college with her. She leaves sunny California on Jan 2 to go to freezing Idaho. I can't go with her but I can send her a quilt to wrap around her. She loves zebra print and asked if I could use it and some bright colors. I also put in a picture of her as a little girl in one of her dance costumes (the pink matched the pink in the quilt) I learned a lot doing this quilt. I used the spray to baste it together and std it myself. I am ready to put my first top together now (it is a present for DH)

this is her dance picture (it isn't this blurry on the quilt)

Love the zebra! It isn't as cold as it was a month ago. Hope your daughter enjoys coming to Idaho!

What a great way to send your daughter off to college. Your beautiful quilt will keep her warm & close to home. Re: 2nd quilt top, 1st finished quilt - you sound just like me! I have the quilt top from my Quilting 101 class last year (avatar pic). I just quilted my first quilt with machine stitching, binding & all. Now I'm not afraid to finish my first quilt top. It is scheduled to be the first project of 2011. I'll be watching for pics of yours!
