Baby Shower Quilt Done!

I finished the Plain Spoken quilt just in time. The baby shower is today around lunch time. I finished the last stitch of hand sewing the binding late last night. I am always amazed at how many hours a hand sewn binding takes. Sure is worth it though!

I decided to just make a little tag instead of a label because I want the quilt to be reversible and quilts don't look very reversible with a big label on the back.

Quilting this quilt was a big reminder that I need more practice. I started free motion quilting twice and seam ripped both attempts. Luckily I didn't get far on either of those times before I thought my work looked horrible. The third attempt was better and I gave up on having perfect curves and loops. I think it looks a lot better as a whole instead of nit picking the small sections.

I am very happy with how it turned out in the end. I want to make another in a bigger size for me. But with as many projects as I have, that isn't likely to happen any time soon.

Here is a full shot of the front...

And the back...
I am driving into downtown Seattle today to attend the baby shower at my husband's work. I am glad I get to be there when she opens it. I hope she likes it!

This weekend I am off to a quilt retreat! I hope to get lots done and have lots of pictures to share of my projects as well as all my friends' projects sometime beginning of next week! See you then!
