I started working on the Crib Sized 100 Wishes Quilt for Ryleigh. I think I mentioned before that I was making two quilts, one with the leftover squares (some people sent me two squares). This quilt will be a little larger then crib sized when it is finished. Ryleigh will also be able to use it as she grows up as a throw blanket for her twin sized bed. I'm hoping that she will cherish both this sized quilt and the full/queen sized quilt that I'm making from all of the awesome squares that I received from all over the world.Here is what it looks like with the top done.
I still need to baste it to the back, then quilt it. It wasn't so bad to sew together considering I've only done this once before with my moms super duper help..... The easiest thing is the sashing (the lines in between the squares). They make the quilt top look very even and spaced correctly even if it is not.The coolest thing is the label that I put for Ryleigh.
In case you can't read it, it says "Ryleigh Gyll, Waiting for You, June, 2005"Oh, and referrals came in this week for people that had their Dossiers logged in to China back in November/December of 2004. It is looking really good that we will get our referral in October.

Wow Stacey that quilt top looks great! You made really fast progress and I love the way it came out.
Now that you've got the process down, you'll have to come up and help me once I have enough squares for mine. :-)
Awesome job!
