Good morning!!

I love this idea of Friday Show & Tell. Show & Tell

(I've decided not to post why I'm making this quilt until after the recipient receives it...I want it to be a surprise!)

****UPDATE*****

The little girl who I made this quilt for got it today!!!!

I love this quilt! It is so warm and bright! The little girl this quilt was made for watched her little brother be attacked by a dog. My friend made the little boy a quilt and I made this one. She received it today (Monday, April 14) and loves it.

Anyway, yesterday I broke in my new Bernina sewing machine with my Friday Show & Tell. This is my 4th sewing machine. My first, another Bernina died a harsh death in a house fire. My second, a cheap $100 Brother, is being donated prior to our move to Japan. And number three, a very nice Viking died a harsh death via electrocution. Don't ask how, I still haven't puzzled that one out.

So, using fabric I happened to have on hand, I cut, pieced, sewed, and laid out to baste the quilt.

I'm really enjoying doing a quilt. It is my first since our house fire in July 2006.

I'm planning on getting it done today and Saturday. Then on Sunday I'll bind it and send it off on Monday.
