It's Done!!!

Alex's quilt is finally finished. It deffinetly took longer than expected, and had many frusterating moments, but it was worth it.

After I told Alex it was done, he got SO excited, started jumping up and down, and said "I love you so much, Mommy!. Thank you!" Who knew a 3 year old would be so excited about a quilt. lol

Here it is in review.


All my peices cut and ready to sew together.


Getting out my sewing machine manuel because my tension was all screwed up.


My peices starting to take shape.


Look! Blocks!


Putting what I had together, and realizing it was way to small.


Adding a border, and a border...


Sewing it together...wrong...


Sewing it together RIGHT!


Two more borders, and sewing it all together.


All together, and tied!


Close up.


The backing. It took a while to find something that would work. I finally found this from a quilt I made years ago for a friend.


On Alex's bed at last! With a pillowcase my Mom made for me when I was young, and a blanket his Grandma Melo had made for him when he was born.


Now all I need is a bedskirt...lol
