Thankful

A very Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I hope it is filled with all the people you love,
as much food as you need,
and the good health to enjoy it all.

Also, I thought I'd finally post pictures of the latest Baby Quilt I made. (I believe I finished this one in October...?)

It measures 50" x 55".

It's made with a Jelly Roll of "Fresh" by Deb Strain for Moda, with various strips (leftover from the jelly roll) for the binding, and a yard or so from the Fresh line for the backing.

It's just straight-line quilted all around with orange thread. And though I'd like to do some "fancy" free-motion quilting in the sashing around the border, my family has talked me out of it.

(I may still do it one of these days... IF I get bored and adventurous!)

Also, I did the binding totally by machine on this one!

It's so cheery!

I originally made it with the intentions of giving it to my local Quilting Guild (when I join in January) for their Cuddle Quilt project...

But now...

I've spent over $60 on this! I think Boyfriend wouldn't like it too much if I gave it away and couldn't even get a receipt to take it off on taxes!

...so I'll just keep it for awhile...

I'm sure I'll know someone (one of these days) who's having a baby...

And I'll be able to just "whip it out"! (Kitty has hinted that she'd like it for her future baby... We'll see!)

=-)

Be well Friends!

p.s. This quilt makes SIX total finished quilts for *this* year!!! WooHoo!!!

I had a goal, and I actually REACHED IT!!!

Plus I have one quilt *top* (the Values quilt) that I'm pondering on what to do for the back, and I'm working on the Blue WaveRunner, which is coming together nicely, thank you very much! So I *might* have more than six for the year.

I'm so tickled!!!
