Not in the mail yet, but the quilt for Baby B. is finally finished. I don't know why it took me so long, it was only a baby-sized quilt. I used the same fabric for the binding that I used for Mrs. Miller's quilt. You know, the quilt that I didn't actually have any decent pictures of? Yes, that one. It was already cut so that saved some time and it was a good match. From the picture above it looks like the quilt is primarily blue, but there is actually a bit of yellow, pink and green represented, too. 
You may or may not remember that I was given strict instruction not to show the whole quilt until Baby B gets the real thing in the mail (baby and mama want to be surprised), so I'll just show this sneak peak from the back. The strip of patterned fabric was left over from the quilt that I made for my Aunt Cheryl before she passed away. The entire strip was already sewn and while none of these fabrics are represented on the other side (the front of the quilt) the color scheme is the same so I feel like it works. The pink & white is seersucker which puckered up so nicely when it was washed & dried; it's so soft! Pulling quilts out of the dryer is my favorite part of the whole quilt making process with machine quilting all the layers together coming in a close second. Third, incase you lay lying in bed at night wondering, which I know you do, is hand sewing the binding. That I can do while vegging in front of the t.v. while watching a movie (preferably Sleepless in Seattle or While you were sleeping…or any other sleeping-titled movie).
I'm starting another quilt tonight.
I'm kind of going through a quilt phase incase you couldn't tell…
