Last Minute Finishes


I had this elaborate idea of quilting I wanted to do for this quilt with weaving in and out of the borders and then the reality check came: Hello!  You're having a baby next week and this quilt needs to get finished.  So, loopy lines it is!  Once I decided that, it took me less than an hour to quilt the entire thing.  I added some hearts, stars and crossed spirals to keep it slightly interesting to me and called it a day.
This quilt consists of my 15 blocks from the 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee, and it's a gift for a girl from church.  I used to do Activity Days with all the 8-11 year old girls, and one of them is turning 12 and graduating into the Young Women's program.  She's also moving to Texas next month, so I knew I couldn't procrastinate finishing this quilt. 
The 3 blocks on the back


Here's the full back:  I was surprised how textured it looks with the quilting.
