So, here is it is. Halle's quilt all finished and pretty! The little madame will be receiving this on the upcoming weekend for her 3rd birthday. I am actually a bit surprised as how quickly it all came together. I would say that it took just shy of 8 hours to complete, working on it bit by bit a few nights a week. Mind you, it could have been completed in about 6 1/2 hours, had I moved a little faster and turned off the television.
The Tina Givens fat quarter bundles that I purchased online from Pink Panda Fabrics were even prettier than I had anticipated. I do have enough fabric left over to whip up a matching pillow sham. (We will see if I can manage to complete that in time). Instead of traditional binding on the edges, I opted for eyelet trim for that extra sweetness. This is for a sweet, tiny lady afterall. I really hope that Halle likes it and that it becomes worn in from many nights of story reading and dolly snuggling.
My comment is a bit late here but I LOVE this quilt. I've been looking at many photos of quilts lately (maybe because it's cold outside) and this one has got to be my favourite -- I LOVE THE TRIM! Reminds me of blankets I had when I was growing up
