Neo's quilt is finished!

Neo finished making her quilt top quite a while ago,
we finally ordered the spring green minky for the back,
and the quilt batting.
Layering the quilt pieces is a tricky procedure!
I tape the minky to the floor, to keep it flat.
Then we add the quilt batting and trim with the back.
My son Addison is helping with that, as Neo watches.


Then they centered the quilt top over the other two layers
and pinned them all together.


It took me three days of machine quilting, to finish.


I used an allover floral design.


Neo has never embroidered before, 
and it took her one evening to finish her work.
She was excited to have her quilt finished!
She sewed the label to the back and her quilt was ready to snuggle!


 This is what happiness looks like and 
the feeling of accomplishing a new skill!


 Great job Neo!!!


Neo's sisters like the quilt too :)

Quilty Fun Sew Along, Week Three


These were my first Courthouse Steps, and they won't be my last!
Just like Lori and everyone says, they are so easy and fun to make.
I reached into my 2 l/2" inch square pile and chose two centers.
I reached into my l l/2" strips container and chose some red, pink, orange, green, yellow, navy, aqua and gray strips, so easy!!!
I'm so glad I reorganized my scraps, you can see the story here.
I love this Quilty Fun Sew Along, have you joined the band wagon yet?
