Right before Keith was born, I made about 5 quilts. I was nesting, lots of friends were having babies, I'd just gotten my QuiltEasy frame...I was on a roll. Anyway, I had made a quilt top for him and quilted it, and all that was left was to bind the edges. Then the baby was born, and who had time to work on quilts blah, blah, blah. So hubby's quilt has been sitting, unfinished, in a basket. Every now and then he'll ask me if I have any plans to finish it, and I just roll my eyes at him. Well, today, 'bless him, he kept the boys occupied for a couple of hours so that I could get it done. Without further ado, may I present.......the quilt that I couldn't keep my kids away from when I tried to take a picture. (I really should know better than to try this when they're awake.)

It's beautiful -- well worth the wait! I love the pieced back.
What a nice quilt!
Beautiful! And what a sweet husband to be so accomodating to the cat. Gotta' love that in a guy! Hey, if you're so inclined will you please send me your email address? I keep wanting to respond your comments, but I need your emal to do it! Happy New Year, dear girl!
Oh you are good! That quilt is great! 3 years ago I bought fabric for a lighthouse quilt and my husband's been asking about it every since. Quilts are just big projects that take lots of time, right? uh Anyway, lucky you to get some time to work on yours. With 2 kids and 2 cats I know how hard it is to take pictures. ;) Happy New Year!
That is great!! I"m sure is is so happy now. Nice quilt, I have no idea how to make quilts so I am really impressed.
lovely quilt!
i have started an afghan for mr man and i hope one day it will be done.
as for the blanket thing - i thrash around a lot and get up about 4 times a night (not normally, but being pregnant...) and we just decided to go with two duvets. it has been a lifesaver.
