B's Quilt

I finished my latest quilt.  I LOVE sewing quilts...but they take so much time, and cost so much money. I could have bought a Pottery Barn quilt cheaper than this sucker...but I LOVE how it turned out, so I won't dwell on that little fact, or tell the hubby ;)


I'm in love with the colors, and just want to cuddle up with this quilt...oh wait, I did for a few days before transferring it to it's rightful home!


the whole quilt. I went for random spacing of blocks...which in the end made it a little heavy on colors from spot to spot, but I love how random it is.


the back! I have usually gone for one consistent fabric on the back, but I love when the back has a little fun to it too! I used flannel so it's soft and cuddly.


stitch in the ditch...the only quilting method I know. Ignore that some lines are crooked...


B loves her new quilt as much as I do!
