    Finally finished my first!!

    It was planned for a Christmas delivery but I had to deliver her a little late. I think she thought is was worth the wait!!

      Well done! It's beautiful, especially for a first quilt! What is the print on the dark navy squares? I can't quite make it out.

        It is blue fleece with St Louis Cardinals embroidered on it. You can't buy Cardinals fabric anymore so I had to improvise. Albert Pujols is her favorite player so I put 4 different pictures of him in the center.

                      Definitely worth the wait! What a fantastic job for your first quilt.

                        I took it to my LQS. Is that considered cheating??

                          LOL..no not at all. I can't bring myself to let someone else quilt mine but that is just me. I do long for that beautiful quilting though. you never know I may break down one day and do it

                            Are you tying them then if you're not quilting?
