Granny Square Quilt

I finished it!  I finally finished it!

This is fabric I received at Christmas (Amy Butler's "Glamour" from the "Lark" line).  I had the blocks put together by March (Quilty Post) and just finally got around to quilting it.  My mother-in-law showed me how to properly pin a quilt for quilting while she was here last week, so that was fun (I had always used sticky spray stuff to keep my quilt sandwich together).

The pattern/tutorial can be found here: Granny Square Quilt Block Tutorial

I plan on keeping this quilt for myself...which really excites me because most of the stuff I make I give away! Thinking of maybe turning it in to display in the Ohio Outdoor Quilt Festival in August.

This is my third lap-sized quilt, so while my MIL was here, she also showed me how to properly roll a quilt to get it to fit on your machine for quilting.  I like learning from someone who knows!  Ha.  Mostly, I've just been on my own with this sewing thing...

Here is the back:

The pic is a little off since I was attempting to take pictures in the glaring afternoon sun...on the day that the sun is the highest in the sky. Ha.

What is better to do on a 92° day than wrap yourself in a blanket?  :-)  (I told him to do this)

Looks like the perfect blanket for kitty!

I guess I already knew she liked it.

I see you!

I'm so happy it's done!  Now on to the next project. :-P
