Cowgirl Makes A Quilt!

This might not be news to you, but it is to me! This cowgirl doesn't really know how to make quilts. I was inspired by this cute and soft camouflage flannel fabric, and the fact that my cousin Abbey is having a little boy. I decided to make a quilt for her and the little baby. I am also continuously inspired by Aunt Becky and cousin Sarah, both of whom I am in awe...they are amazing quilt makers, and I have no idea how they get so much done so beautifully. (you can see a few of Sarah's quilts here, and the apron Becky made me here)

I have dabbled in quilts in the past, I have started a few, but haven't yet finished them. So I am very excited to announce that I have actually finished this quilt! And it turned out quite good, I think. There are a few things an accomplished quilter might notice: all the tie stitches aren't the same size on the back, for instance. But, I think they will do the job. It didn't take me as long as I thought it would, either, so that is encouraging. No long hours into the night, trying to finish the darn thing in time for the baby shower...The last thing I need to do is trim up the ties (after deciding how long I want them!) and it will be sent off to New Mama Abbey! I do hope she likes it...
