It's finished!



Well, here it is... my first "real" quilt. I really wish I had a better camera, the one we have doesn't do a very good job with the colors... and the lighting is pretty horrible. Lol..




I taped the quilt up over the window for a cool effect. (And because my other pics of it were pretty boring. lol)
It turned out better than I expected, considering it was my first time and I just sort of made up my own pattern and templates. I really love the colors. ( I used an Essence jellyroll by Sandy Gervais.) I can't wait to see what it looks like once I have it quilted.

Sadly, I found Mill House Inn jellyrolls on clearance at fatquartershop.com and was forced to get a couple to start my next project. Hey, they were $14 cheaper (each!!) and I was afraid they wouldn't be available for much longer... I HAD to do it.
Okay, I'll stop trying to justify my actions.

I'm planning to make a larger quilt out of them for our someday-guestroom.
Hopefully I'll have time to work on it... school starts this week!!




I'll leave you with my Alice/Sable picture of the day.
