11th Finish for 2017 - Quilted and Bound

11th Finish for 2017

When my boys got married, I started making Christmas pajamas for them and their growing families.  At some point, I realized that making tops and long pajama pants had resulted in an over-abundance of Christmas fabric scraps!  Sooooo, I cut up as much of the fabric as I could in squares and made 9 good sized twin quilt tops.  I have given all but the last 3 away.  This quilt will be given to my granddaughter, Madisyn, at Thanksgiving this year.

I chose to make this one as close to the others as I could.  It is just simple Stitch in the Ditch (SITD) but it isn't so simple when you are using high loft polyester batting!  I just had to go slow. 

Madisyn's name is on the quilt.

I recently saw Jessica Skultety's post on her blog Quilty Habit where she was using words on her quilt.  I thought this would be the perfect way to identify Madisyn's quilt.  It isn't real bold but you can read it and she will know it is there.  You can find Jess' post here.

She will be 7 years old when I give her this quilt!

On the 10th finished quilt I decided to hide a little bit of my heart in each of my quilts, since they are mostly for my family.  You might have to look hard, but there is a quilt in the rectangle with the beige background.
