I finished up that birthday quilt after all. It was a dragging my feet, complaining, type of project. They don't happen very often, but when they do it's miserable. I bribed myself with 15 episodes of Switched at Birth (my new vice), half a bottle of wine(a long standing vice) and two audio-book Amish tales by Beverly Lewis.
I'm not sure what my problem was. The recipient is a special girl, and the fabrics are adorable and fun. My friend Kristen has been seriously collecting I-spy fabrics. She makes I-spy quilts for commission. Luckily I benefit greatly from this. Some of the prints are from my friend Miranda too.
I love these prints for reals!
I went with a thin multicolored striped border, and an orange binding with polka dots.
The backing is fitting for a one year old. Cute.
Hopefully this quilt will get years of snuggling and enjoyment.
I did get my Juggling Summer quilt basted(no photos, sorry) and I hope to start quilting it tonight if it's rainy. The boys have stuff going on this weekend so I might get a good hunk of time to myself. Thankfully my attitude is improving so I won't be a grumpy quilter.
I love the colors and the owl backing fabric! I know those owls will get lots of love.
