I Made a Quilt

 I just finished a baby quilt for Jensen this week and I still like sewing. :)  This is the second quilt that I have ever made and I may have swore after the first one that I made that I would never make another one again.  My first one was back in high school for a Personal Progress project and my mom did half of it for me.  I didn't really like making it and assumed that sewing was just not for me.  But apparently maturity, age, and cute little kids to sew for can make a girl like sewing again.  No I am not going to go out and start sewing a ton (I would need to actually own a sewing machine to do that) but I may dabble in it again in the future.

This second quilt came about when one of my good friends asked me if I wanted her to help me make a quilt for Jensen.  I was nervous, but loved all of Adalyn's quilts that everyone had made for her and wanted Jensen to have a few too, so I agreed.  We made a girls day(plus our two kids) of it and finished the top in one day (we even bought the fabric that day and everything).  It turned out really bright, but still super cute.

 The next trick was finding the time for when I was going to finish it... SO when we went to Utah for a week I knew that this would be my chance to tie it and have my mom teach me how to bind a quilt.  My mom was a great help and I learned a lot.  We got it all done that week except I still needed to hand stitch around the border.  Last Saturday I finally finished that up and am now enjoying the finished product. :)  It is far from perfect, but I did it and am very happy that it is no longer sitting in a drawer at my house. :) 

Finished product-

So happy it is done!
Have a great day!
