I have been such a terrible blogger all week. But it has been somewhat crazy around here. I finally finished the baby quilt I have been working on for a couple months now, and not too soon. The shower is tomorrow afternoon.I was very happy with how soft and fluffy it turned out, even after a light washing and drying.
I used mostly "Every Iota" fabrics for the blocks, and one piece of the cutest Japanese print from Fabric Tales. It is the one with the tiny flowers and honey bees. The backing is a soft yellow percale sheet, and I loved the way it quilted up. The pattern is from the April 2007 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting.
I was so worried about a bird flying over while I had this out on the line.
Fingertips are doing fine. Yesterday my right thumb was a little tender, but it is perfect today. Now I am ready for the next project. Something totally different! But I think this evening I will just relax with some butter pecan ice cream and watch a movie. We rented "Pirates of the Caribbean -At World's End". I have not seen it yet. Fun!

hooray on the quilt...i was starting to worry about you but you have been busy...have an extra scoop of butter pecan for me but hands off johnny depp - i've already spoken for him...=)
Your quilt turned out great - you work well under pressure! (A bird would not have been welcome at this point, eh?) Have fun at the shower - what an awesome gift for the baby.
Congratulations, Eileen! The baby quilt is really sweet and the quilting is so perfect!
Huge congratulations on finishing it on time! I've been a bit absent too finishing an aran in time for hubby. Doesn't it feel good to have a big project out of the way!!
Ah Johnny Depp- now there's a reward. LOL :-) I hope you enjoy your evening.
Beautiful is your baby quilt!

The baby quilt really came out great! Too funny about the bird..though it would not have been funny if that had happened. Great job on a pretty quilt!
Oh Eileen, its so darling. I love it. I wish I liked to hand quilt. I love the look of a hand quilted quilt. It just makes it all so pretty. You should be so proud of this. Its beautiful.
