I have been wanting to make a quilt for the baby for a while now, and for Christmas I got some new quilting tools and supplies for the quilt. Casey helped me pick out the fabrics. He was satisfied with the frog print we ended up getting, but was really pushing for the monkeys. They were cute too, but didn't really match anything else.
I'm a novice quilter. I am still working on a big quilt I started back when we were in Payson. I underestimated the amount of time it would take to hand quilt the whole thing together. I learned from that and I knew this time I wanted to make something much smaller that could be machine quilted. I finished it in one week, which is a vast improvement on the two years and counting I've been working on my other one. I had to teach myself a lot, so it was kind of an experiment, but I think overall it turned out well.

Great job on the quilt! It's nice to see a picture of the finished product. I'm sure the baby will love it.
Impressive quilt! You look great Suzy! I'm so excited for you. Your little girl with love cuddling in your quilt.
Great work! She will love it.
Good job, Ya, I have yet to find the time to write my thoughts. Lets get the kids back to school and I might be able to breathe. Keep reminding me.
Cute! You did a great job - wanna teach me???? How about an enrichment activity? ;)
It looks great! Good job. That was a great idea!
Oh Suzy, you are so modest about your sewing skills. Um, hello? You sewed together covers for your couches that looked amazing. You have some serious talent:)
Sorry no advice, seeing as how I haven't done it myself. Good luck!
Impressive work on the quilt ... it's so cute!
