My latest quilt.

It is for my amazingly talented cousin, Shannon.  I guess she's technically Damon's cousin, but I claim her. :) I really admire this girl. Her and her Mom have always been lovely to me.  I'm grateful for them.

I used Windsor Lane by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda Fabrics. Love this line. When it first came out I was smitten. I actually bought the Windsor Lane fat quarter bundle with my cousin in mind, but knowing that I would be able to get several baby quilts out of it.


 I did end up using minky again, even though I vowed not to. Damon
said I should. 

Hey, if my hubby tells me to buy minky, I buy it.

I was so happy too, because I found a remnant just the right size for the backing that was 40% off!
Yeepie!

The problem was that the minky was the exact same size as the top. So when it was time to quilt it, we had a bit of a struggle and the lady helping us was not too happy. But, as you can see, it got quilted. 


Damon worked his magic. He did freestyle for the first time and it turned out beautiful!



So I really hope Shannon likes it. Her opinion matters alot to me.
She is brilliant in all she does-- as well as her Mom.

So today I only ate raw food!
I want to try this raw thing out!
 I feel really happy about it right now.
If I'm successful for longer than a week then I'll talk more about it. :)
