Gift Deadlines

There's nothing quite like a deadline to get the creative juices flowing.  In my case, Christmas was looming ever closer, and I still had one more quilt to make.  It also needed to be mailed, so that made it even more pressing.

 It's been a while since I whipped out a quilt in under 24 hours, but it happened this past week.  I started the quilt top after the kiddos went to bed, and got the blocks pieced before bed.  I got the kiddos off to school and then pieced the quilt top together.  Luckily, Little Guy was happy to read books next to me while I sewed. 

I layered and quilted it while he took his nap, and then we watched a couple of episodes of The Voice while I hand-stitched the binding.  Wahoo!

This quilt is actually for my nephew who will be making his debut in February.  My sister is having her second child.  It got delivered on Saturday, so it made it there with a couple of days to spare before Christmas.  Phew!
