My Quilt

Finally! I have been working on or dreaming of this quilt for sometime now.... in fact this quilt has been in the process for 10 months! It took me a while to find the right fabric. Once I found the perfect fabric I cut and assembled the top in a matter of hours....THEN it sat in my closet, then in a tub, and then in the middle of my project pile. I finally pulled it out and threw it on my couch...hoping that it would motivate me and it finally did! I am so happy with how it turned out. This is my first quilt top....I have made several others since I finished this top in march....
Here it is spread out on my living room floor waiting to be tied. Once it was tied I sewed on the binding and then finished the binding by hand!

Here are two different pictures of my finished quilt! I love, love, love it and am excited to be able to snuggle under it while reading a good book! My Mother-in-law asked if I was going to give it to somebody....my husband tried to claim it as his...Sorry guys! I am going to be greedy for once...this is mine and only mine!
