Surprise!

This is my surprise finish.

I started working on this quilt last year. It is my FIRST quilt that wasn't just a practice in "I-didn't-use-a-pattern "quilting. I just never got around to finishing it because I was convinced that I'd have to hand quilt it.

Then, I got one of the best Christmas presents ever. (Enter stage left: the SEWING MACHINE)

It does a blanket stitch.

I machine quilted it and used electric blue thread. It's amazing.

I suppose that I'll put up more pictures tomorrow when I don't have the odd night glow of my work lamp and my camera flash. Oh, and this quilt is special. It is reserved for the first baby in a select group of people. I know... that's selfish. But I LOVE THIS QUILT.
