Finished Shoe Quilt

It's finished!

I finished this one up while Dan was here this weekend, soaking up the glow of being just engaged and watching lots of our favorite shows on DVD.

The binding is the same as the backing and really pulls out the aqua in the quilt.

This one is definitely my new quilt for cuddling with when I watch movies.

Linking up with Finish It Up Friday and A Lovely Year Of Finishes!

Quilted Shoe Quilt

Last week I got a really awesome package from home containing my camera cord, some fabric that I left, and my shoe quilt. My mom free motion quilted it for me and it turned out AMAZING!

The title of this post could also be "My mom is the bomb".

The body of the quilt was quilted with meandering stitches everywhere but the shoes themselves...

...and the borders have a figure 8.

Here's the back:

When my dad saw it finished, he had to call me right away to tell me how cool it looked. My parents are the sweetest.

I got the binding sewn onto the quilt on Thursday and hopefully I'll be able to to hand stitch the binding this week!

Progress has been made on the Civil War quilt hand work...I'll be sharing that soon, I hope!
