I started this quilt in October for my dear friend's new baby, Olivia. I made great head-way on the project until a major fabric debacle prompted a serious loss in motivation, leaving quilt squares sitting idle ever since. Baby Olivia was being blessed in church today, so I decided this was a good opportunity to get the quilt finished. I spent the better part of Saturday sewing and hand quilting (so Amish, but so worth it) to get 'er done. At 2:30 A.M. this morning I finished with quilting and after ditching 2/3s of my church meetings today got it bound and washed in time for the afterparty. Though the pattern is not what I had originally planned, I am quite happy with the final product. HJ loved it and I hope baby Olivia has many cozy days wrapped up in her quilt.

You are AMAZING! That quilt is truly a work of art!
that is beautiful! I've done a few myself to be able to appreciate the amount of work that went into. Lucky Olivia. Machine or hand stiched?
The quilt top was sewn together by machine. The quilting and binding is by hand - needle and thread :D
I WANT ONE! If I tell you the next time I'm prego will that give you enough time? Ha ha! Great job, it looks fantastic!
Its way cute! I wish I had that kind of talent!

Awesome, daughter! I just love the colors, and she'll always know it's a real gift from the heart.
