a major accomplishment

well, i've done it. i have finally finished benny's quilt. i can't remember exactly when i started, but it's probably been somewhere around 6 months (maybe a couple more...). i'm so glad to finally have it done, and benny loves it!

this was actually quite a big project for me - and my first experience with machine quilting. i was able to do that all on my own and with my own machine - they were all straight lines. it was really fun to be able to do that. i wonder if i'll ever be able to go back to tying a quilt.

here are some pictures:

with the back (and the front edge folded over for the binding).

and benny so happy to have his blankie all done.
i was so glad to see him so happy!

It looks awesome, Faith! I think I'll be calling you for tips when I get to further stages of this quilting process.
You did such a good job. (I'd be proud of myself.) :)
