I've been missing a while -- life has gotten very busy and I'm trying to simplify my life -- blogging was one thing I had to let go of for a while.

But, having said that, I just finished a quilt! This will be a baby gift for a friend's new baby and will be delivered tomorrow.

The quilt is pictured above. Some details -- all of the front fabrics except one came from my stash. I loved the colors together! I purchased the one fabric (ladybugs) for the front and the back flannel fabric at JoAnns -- the front is plain cotton fabric and the back is flannel. I tried to find binding that would work with both front and back and it just wasn't available. So, I sewed two fabrics together and the front binding is yellow cotton and the back is the same flannel as the backing. A little harder than doing it the regular way but I really like the effect. The second picture shows the flannel binding at the top of the picture the yellow binding in the part that is folded over.

Another note...the pieces of the front were cut with my friend's GO. Sure made it easy!
