Photos - at long last

I was so lazy about getting these pictures up. I wish I had uploaded them from the camera sooner, I would have taken more if I had. They're not the greatest. But the quilt will be delivered today or tomorrow so it's a little late for me to reshoot the pics. Oh well.

I opted for the satin ribbon binding and I added a tag with the baby's name where the binding overlaps. I think it's a cute little personalized addition.

FINISHED!

I just put the final stitch in and stuck it in the washer. Once it's all cleaned up and free of loose threads, I'll be posting pictures! YAY!

He's Here!

And less than three hours after his arrival, I finished the quilting on the piece. The binding goes on tomorrow and then it can be mailed off! Yay!

I'll post pictures when it is all finished.

so so so close!

Today I actually decided I was done with this baby quilt. I pieced the top rather large, too large for a baby blanket, so I decided I'd just use the extra to hold it still in the frame, and then only quilt the portion I wanted to use. Somehow in my mind I thought I had done 5 rows of 4 squares and took everything down and admired my work only to recount and discover I had only done 4 rows. Boo. :( So I thought I was done, but I actually have to set it up again and do at least another row. I folded it under so I could get a better feel for the finished size and I actually think 6 rows would look the best, but this baby is due in less than a week. Granted, it doesn't have to be there before the baby is born, and getting a package a few days after they get home might be nicer than having one waiting for them when they bring the better new package from the hospital. ;)

So - I'm very close but STILL not finished. I can't wait to get it sent off, though. If I can do 2 squares every day I can have it all quilted by Sunday, do the binding on Monday and hopefully have it out by next Tuesday. IF.

2/3 Done!

I have four of the six rows of stitching done on this baby quilt! Yay! It seems to move pretty quickly, I just have been up to a lot of things, so I haven't devoted a lot of time to it lately. Two rows and the binding left and this one is done! (And then I'll post pictures!)
