Mad Scientist

It’s finished!  It’s done!  It’s alive – well, no, not really, but I do kind of feel like a mad scientist.  I stitched the last square of quilting on my sister’s quilt yesterday – tied it off and called my mother to celebrate.  I called my sister too to catch her before work and let her know it would be coming with me this weekend.  She’s happy, as far as I can tell.

So what does a years worth of work on a baby quilt look like?  Well, something like this:

 I really do like it.  There are some imperfections; seams that don’t meet up mostly, but other than that, I think it’s beautiful.  That, and it’s the first quilt I have ever actually quilted.  My first four were all tied.  Granted, I didn’t quilt a lot on here, it’s still quilted by me and that makes me happy.  Now I get to start Baby J’s quilt.  I will be appliqueing stars tonight.  And possibly some letters, if I can get them printed and cut out today at work.  Hooray!  Quilting!
