I'm in love...

I finished the quilt yesterday morning, bright and early.  I had decided to hand stitch the binding down on the back and just had to get up at the crack of dawn to finish the mere 'feet' that was left on it.  I'm glad I decided to do the hand stitching instead of using the machine.  It's much prettier.

  I'm so darn happy with how it turned out.  Every time I look at it, I do a little jig.  I could help but fold and unfold it several times yesterday just to admire all the wonderful colors that are on it.  The girls would ask what I was doing and I would reply "just looking".  Brenna even asked after umpteen times if I had looked at it enough.  Not yet.  I even wrapped it around me and walked around the house with for a wee bit.  Yes, I got some weird looks.

Anyhoo, here is my newest piece of loveliness.

I'm so darn tickled with myself that I just can't stand it!

I'm doing a little jig in the chair right now just looking at the picture.

I so need help.  :}

I used scrap strips for the binding.  It wasn't all that bad sewing them all together.  Pretty fun actually.  I know I don't get out much.  I decided to use 12 different colors instead of just one because I didn't think one boring color would do the blanket justice.  I'm so glad I did all different colors.

It's so freaking AWESOME!!!

The girls and I gave it a try last night while watching a nature show.  Glenn thought we were nuts all curled up on the love seat, covered head to toe while it was 100F outside.  We didn't care.  We were enjoying all of the snugglyness in our lovely creation.

I think that this has become another illness of mine. 

 I'm going to make so more here soon.
