Two Little Happy Dances!

Dec 18, 2006 5 Replies

They're finished! The two little baby quilts for my son's high school class Christmas Basket family are done. I put them in the dryer this morning at 4 a.m. and now they're all wrapped up and ready to go to their new homes.

Ifthere are Quilt Police, they will come drag me away for committingthese. The pastel one has wobbly quilting lines. The bright one is toothick, too sturdy feeling for a baby quilt. I used the wrong battingand accidentally put the backing fabric on wrong side out so instead ofbeing fuzzy it's solid and ... not fuzzy. There are smooshed bindingspots and corners that are too round and please don't look at thefree-hand quilting. But they're done and I think they look ok from agalloping horse and I hope so much that the little ones who get themwill like them. That's what I kept thinking about at 2:30 a.m todaywhen my bobbin thread kept knotting and I was swilling hot tea to stayawake.



Hugs to all and now I'm off to sleep a bit more.

Those are beautiful, they will LOVE them!

They're great, Sunny. No problem at all. Babies are the most uncritical of recipients - as long as a corner will fit in their mouths, they'll love it >g< Seriously, they are sweet. I really like the pattern of the pastel one. And, don't worry - there are *no* quilt police. It was a lovely gesture to make and will give your son a wonderful Christmas memory of giving, even if it isn't particularly convenient. . In message , Sunny writes

Sunny - they are both darling. I'm sure any baby (and mommy too) would be happy to have them!!

Good job, sunny! The babies will love them!
