Baby Quilt

One of my New Years Resolutions from last year was to make from start to finish a quilt, which included quilting it myself and doing a binding on it. I finally did it! I have a Great Nephew who is being born this summer and in one week was able to put this quilt together. I really like how it turned out and can't wait to give it to my Niece.

 All done! Front and part of the back

I just have to add a tag on the back with the date and who it is for and that it is from us :) 

I learned a lot and am glad I was able to finish it by myself. I was even excited to finally do a binding on a quilt and enjoyed the "magic binding" as it is called because it uses two colors. I am working to finish up Dan's T-shirt quilt which I plan to do all on my own as well.
