I started this quilt in April 2009. I am really happy with it because it was by my own design. I was so excited to quilt it, but a little nervous. I made a decent attempt of stitching in the ditch, and hated the way it turned out.It puckered up in a lot of places. I did what any other sane person would do, and I picked out all of the stitches. Thousands of them. Then I put the quilt top away for about 10 months so I wouldn't have to look at it. Well, I've been practicing free motion quilting on my machine and finally felt confident enough to try it on a real quilt. I am very happy with the result, and can't wait to give it to BabyVoldemort in June (even though it will be about 110 degrees when he arives).

WOw I really like that one. I also love the colors of your living room. Way to go.
Haha... I just finished reading the post and it answered my question. :-) Nevermind!
I love how it turned out. Is this going to be for baby Voldemort? ;-)
You're funny Lani!
