It's finally finished!

Hello!  No card today, but I do have a pretty awesome project to share~  I started this project while pregnant with chloe.  It's a project that meant so much to me but has went unfinished.  I'm not sure I'd have ANY time or PATIENCE to complete it.  Are you wondering what it is?  A QUILT!  I don't even sew buttons so don't ask me what I was thinking when I let my friends convince me to sign up for a 'beginner' pinwheel quilters class.  AND I should mention, "beginner" and "pinwheel" should not be in the same sentence nor should there be a class.  There is nothing 'beginner' level about it!!  I learned a lot about quilting and learned that I simply do not have the time or patience for it.  I admire you quilters out there!!  I started the quilt and managed to complete 14 blocks and then they sat, in a plastic bin starring at me- for 2 years!  So much hard work and love went into these blocks.  I knew I wanted to do something with them....

I work in an insurance agency and one of our insured is a very advent quilter.  My boss is going to have her sew a few smaller quilts for our break room wall.  That's when the light bulb went off!  I immediately thought HIRE HER!  She came to the office 2 weeks ago and picked up my bin of blocks.  I had patterns for a few more blocks that were not completed.  We discussed the colors I liked and layed out different designs.  We also discussed price....$50.  Are you kidding me!!  I feel like I got the sweetest deal ever!   I paid her today, but knowing this individual, I knew she wouldn't accept more so she'll be getting a little package from me as well.

Well, she dropped off the finished project today and I couldn't be happier.  I love it so much!  The backing is flannel with moose and deer on it. It's perfect for my family.  There are actually 4 squares across- 5 rows.  Here she is: (this was the best full view picture I could get)

 



While I didn't complete the project myself, I'm happy we can enjoy it and I can one day show my kids the blocks I completed.
