I'm trying desperately to get three warm and fuzzy "quilts" made before Christmas. I can tell you right now, I'm not going to be 100% done. I have, however, finished Delaney's. First of all, it is not quilted, so I hesitate to call it a quilt. I did piece the top together, but they wanted the backs to be warm and soft so I didn't quilt the blanket.
I learned a couple of things making this quilt. I need a quilting foot, which I bought to make the second quilt and a walking foot to put the binding on, which I haven't bought yet. I also should have made the zig zag lines contrast instead of blend. I made this without a pattern, so no instructions and to make each line stand out, I needed to contrast the lines. I blended. I couldn't see it until it was all sewn together and then it was too late. Oh well, I've learned not to do that.
The good thing is that Delaney doesn't care, she loves it and can't wait til Christmas to get it. She picked out the fabric and the backing is nice and soft and warm. Thank goodness she is not a perfectionist (neither am I!).

WOW!!! I am astounded Janie. I love the patterns and the fabric designs and colors. Beautiful. Never, every point out your art flaws. Nobody will notice them, and if they do, say you intended it that way. Nobody can argue with artistic license dahlink!
