It's Finally Done!

Last October I decided I needed to finally do Evy's blanket. I've made one for all the other kids, so I kind of felt obligated to make one for Evy. And plus a little bit of me wanted to make one for her, too. :-)

It took me a while to choose the fabric. I like the end product but visualized more of just pinks, oranges, and blues in the beginning. Since I couldn't find any fabrics that had just the right feel, I settled on this cute line. (I can't remember the line they are from.)

I tried to get it sewn in a month before she turned two. I got most of the quilt top done but hit some snares with all the finishing work and took a much needed break until last Friday when I decided to finish the darn thing once and for all. So, it's finally done--albeit is majorly "jimmy rigged." Hopefully it doesn't fall apart when it gets washed for the first time (a little fear I have with all my sewing projects).

Even though the binding caused me some headaches, it was all worth it when I see how much she loves her blankey. And yay for me as I have one less project to worry and stress over!
