A finished project

When fabric is on sale at Joann's, I often will buy, not always sure what I'll make..


I started this a few weeks ago - and finally finished it today - Hope it doesn't make your

eyes buggy... I know that stripes get me a little.


Let me say I am NOT a regular quilter.. there is no handsewing here - it's just squares and

all machine stitched.. and it just has the stripes on the back. Not even a real binding..
I really did try to make a pattern - really..
Anyway, I'm proud of it. There is also something oddly satisfying in finishing off a spool of thread! It is for my sister who is having a baby in the next few weeks...

Good job, and just being made by you will make it doubly special.

I love the material! How fun that your sister is having a baby. She will love that quilt. My brother just had a baby girl two weeks ago. It's probably the last niece or nephew for me as all of us are finished having kids now. Bittersweet!

I love it. I wish I could quilt, even the machine-stitched quilts.

I think it looks great. At least you quilt. I finally took a quilt off the quilt frames and now I don't know where it is--half finished, yet.
