I've been holding out on you...

Ummm...so, yeah, Coop's quilt is done!  And it's kind of been done for over a week, but I haven't shared the pictures yet.  So sorry!  The closer I got to the end, the more & more excited I got about finishing it, then once it was done I completely forgot about posting it.

I am so totally in love with this thing.  It doesn't hurt that I've been working on it for almost a year & a half!

I was so worried when I washed it the first time since I hadn't pre-washed any of the fabric.  My worst fear was that all that red would bleed all over the rest of it, but Color Catchers to the rescue!  I used a dozen (not even joking!), six on the first wash & six on the second, and they definitely did their job.  I'll probably wash it alone & use some more the next time I wash it as well.  The last thing I need is for it to get ruined in the washer.  

I couldn't have been happier when the very first time I spread it out on the floor, Coop was playing on it like crazy.  I think this is one of my all-time favorite pictures of Coop!

The back is fairly simple, but I really love how it turned out.

It feels so good to be done!

So you might be wondering what have I been up to the past week that kept me from sharing all this?  Oh, just this little project!

That's right, I made another quilt top!  This one is a little smaller than Coop's (50"x70"), but I finished the whole top in six days.  That's right - six days - start to finish.  I'm working on the back now & trying to decide how I'm going to quilt it.  I think I'm going to try doing this one on the machine, so we'll see how it turns out.  So far I'm loving it though!

Until next time...
