Operation Quilt Completed

I finished the binding on the quilt this afternoon.  That's a good thing, because next week I'm focusing on the painting and decorating of my kitchen, so I wanted to finish the quilt and mail it this week.
I think it turned out cute.  My only complaint was the thread specifically for hand quilting that I used for the binding, but I didn't realize until half way through that it doesn't have as much give to it, so the quilt is a little scrunched.  Oh well- I'll know for next time.
I decided to do a wavy, swirly top stitch to counteract all the straight lines. It gives it more texture and a little more fun with the bright colors.  Well, time to go get the boy from his nap.  He's up there giggling and babbling.  I wish I knew what he was saying, because he's clearly amused by it.
