My FIRST QUILT!!!!

I am SO excited! This weekend, I pulled out some really cute baby prints that I had purchased about three years ago. My initial intent was to make a quilt for my then-upcoming-newborn nephew, but as time tightened down on me, and with all the other things going on in life, I never got it done. I had cut some of the pieces out, but sewing it together was a mere afterthought! This weekend, I finished cutting the fabric and sewed my quilt top. What an exhiliarating feeling! Huge sense of accomplishment! AND, I have an AWESOME friend who happens to own a Gammill longarm sewing machine running on the computerized Statler Stitcher software who so willingly offered to machine-quilt it for me at NO CHARGE!!! All I have to do now is prepare and sew the binding on, and then I will be able to share the beautiful pictures with you... can't wait!
