Not entirely off topic

Adorable -- both the little ones and the quilt! And congratulations on
conquering mitered corners -- they do give you a sense of accomplishment,
don't they?

The first set of pictures is off topic. They're of my grand-daughter.

And for the on topic portion,here's the finished quilt
that my SIL and I worked on together. She did the embroider
and I did the rest.

I'm undecided yet whether or not to send it,as I may be
going to see my grand-daughter at the end of June,in which case I will
carry
it with me.
I wish it showed up better,but this is my first mitered corners
quilt. I don't know what I was afraid of,it's not as hard as I
thought it would be and looks so much nicer than my previous
bound quilts. I'm encouraged now to try other border methods.

Terri, both of your grandchildren are really adorable, as is the quilt!
Congratulations!

Beautiful grandchildren Terri, and the quilt is awesome! I have almost
mastered mitred corners... they still turn out a bit rounded but I'm getting
there. It just takes practise I guess.

Very nice quilt. I love when people combine different things like
embroidery.

Thank you and yes,I feel good that I braved the mitering challenge.

I finally got a better photo of the GSD quilt after completion,
and it's one of those that looks much better from a distance.

Beautiful! It's exactly like the one I want to make for my
daughter....different dog in the center and fabrics to match her room of
course. Stupid question......are those white strips cut on the bias?


I think a good mitered corner would have enhanced this quilt as well.
Maybe next time. I'm thinking of doing a black lab next, and have found
a pattern of a duck to go on it.

Where are you getting the animal patterns?
