My Homespun Quilt is finally finished!

In between chasing after grandkids....and getting them more cookies:


I was able to finish tacking down the binding on my new homespun quilt for my bedroom.

I'm not as proud of it as I could be.  It is my first attempt with "Quilt As You Go" method, and my tension was not the best, therefore there are several puckers in it.  I'm just trying to remember that it will be a perfect addition to a "primitive" bedroom.  I started my bedroom renovation with curtains, and now have the quilt finished.  I plan to paint in a light "carmel" color and then finish the decorating.  I'll be moving the crib to the spare bedroom, that Jayde has quickly claimed as "my bedbroom".  This will give us a little more walk space around the bed.  As with everything I plan, it's going to have to come in stages because I need to finish the grandkids room BEFORE I move the crib....sigh....I guess I need to resign myself to that fact that everything is just a work in progress.  :-)  Without further ado.....here are some quick pics of my new quilt.




Don't look too close....it has LOTS of imperfections....but I love the pattern and the fabrics, so I'll be happy to have it on my bed for many years to come!

I'll update more later.....the grandkids are keeping me hopping today!  LOL  I love them more than I can say, but I have to admit tomorrow will be a day of yardwork, and will seem like rest before I go back to work!  LOL
