making progress

Well I've been working like crazy to finish my quilt for my 25th birthday.  I got the quilt top done this afternoon and I'm basting it tonight.  If all goes as planned I'll have it quilted and be cuddled up in my new quilt by my birthday this Thursday.


Thought I'd give you a quick update on how its going.  Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Update

So apparently this has become a "once a month" blog.  I'm gonna try to work on that and be a little more consistent.  Anyway here is an up date of what been going on.  Christmas was SO great.  I love the holidays and spending time with family.  There is no better feeling than giving someone a gift that you know they will love.  I got to experience that feeling this Christmas.  I gave my best friend Hannah the polka-dot quilt!

I also got a darning/free motion quilting foot for Christmas so I've been practicing my free motion quilting almost every night.  It was pretty hard at first but I think I'm getting the hang of it.  Hopefully I'll have it down when it comes time to quilt MY quilt. 



Its a twin size and I've finished about 40% of the quilt top.  I made a promise to myself that I would finish it for my 25th birthday.

I'll try to keep you posted on my progress.
