100 Good Wishes Quilt

When I was waiting for Ryleigh, some of you long time readers might remember that I started sewing.

I finally finished the 100 Good Wishes Quilt top and sent it off for quilting (my machine is too small to quilt it myself).

I chose a black, tone on tone butterfly print for the sashing, and a butterfly pattern for the quilting....

It is HUGE, and I have no idea where I'm going to put it until Ryleigh is big enough to receive it....

Thank you to everyone who has a square in the quilt. They all mean so much to me!

Can you see me on the left side of the quilt? I'm standing on a 4 foot wall, that's how big it is!

WOW! You did an amazing job! Bella's quilt is at the quilters right now, I'm getting dragonflies one hers for the stitching. Some of my squares don't line up that well, which I'm a bit ticked about... but that's a long story!!!

Looks fantastic!
