It's been a while since I've posted a finish, and I am so excited to share this quilt with you! I have loved every part of making this quilt! I loved the fabric when I first saw it, I loved piecing the triangles, I love that I quilted it myself, and I love the final product!
If you've been following me for a while, you may remember when I pieced this quilt top. It was at an in-town retreat I went to back in January 2013. Most of the fabric is Mama Said Sew by Sweetwater for Moda. I added the borders a little later that same year and then it just sat, waiting to be quilted.
Last spring, when my mom and I decided I would be learning to use the long arm machine this fall, I added this top to the pile of quilts I would learn on. I was so excited! I told my mom it was one of the first quilts I wanted to do. She knows how much I love this quilt, so she suggested I quilt another one first so I get a feel for the machine again before tackling such a special quilt. So this is the second quilt I quilted last week while over at my mom's.

I love the micro dots for that inner border and binding! |
I got the binding on in no time and last weekend, we went to the park to get some photos. My husband got a new lens for the camera and wanted to play with it, win-win!!
I haven't decided where to put this quilt yet but it has already been used by my little one. I know this will be a well loved quilt as it is the perfect size for snuggling under with a good cup of tea!
I am linking up to TGIFF over at Sew Fresh Quilts, where Lorna has a cute little fox & friends quilt.
