My little quilt designer . . .


My daughter 'designed' this quilt last week, and last night I finished up the binding on it for her.  She had requested flowers and hearts for the quilting, and it was fun to try it out for the first time on a smaller project.


She was super excited to find the quilt on her bed when she woke up this morning, and my older girls are already asking if they can make some during Spring break.


Linking up to Fabric Tuesday.

Oh,I love this!!!
When my girl was little she used to make her own designs but I had so much to do with her litle twinbrothers so I never had the time to sew her quilts.
I surprised her two years ago and made one of her designs.
She was so happy, but she had turned 21 years...

I Ike the quilting, Rebecca! You can hardly see the individual squares, it almost looks like ombré fabric.
