A Finished Project

Over a year ago I had cut squares for DIL's friends and relatives to write advice to her. I put them into quilt squares. I used a pattern found in McCalls Quilt magazine. I think it turned out very nice.

 I wanted to finish it for Christmas but ended up finishing it for Son and DIL's first anniversary. I learned a lot from making this. Yes, a quilt this size can indeed go under my very small sewing machine arm space. It certainly didn't want to very bad. Free motion is quite a skill. I will have to do more to get more proficient at it.  I put the backing on, quilt and bound it in one week. It gave me a good feeling like "hey, maybe I should finish a ton of the rest of the quilt tops that are storing away in totes."
