ta-da

I finished it!

For my first real quilt,

I'm pretty happy with it.

I used this gal's tutorials - which are excellent, I thought!
I figure it took me somewhere between

15 and 17 hours all together.

Never mind how much money....

but I do have a fancy new walking foot for my sewing machine :-)

I really had no business working on a baby quilt

when the little girl currently in-house

still needs more diapers

and I have plenty of Christmas prep to keep my busy

but I just couldn't help myself.

I was a bit nervous when I stuck it in the washer

but all the 'experts' had told me

'nobody prewashes anymore'

I went ahead and threw some salt and a color catcher in

for good measure

Now all I need is a snuggly little baby girl to go with it!

well

and a diaper bag.....
