A little of this and that

I've been collecting fabric for a while now to make Paisley a quilt. I really wanted to have it done for her first birthday on Saturday, so this week I kicked it into high gear. I pieced together and sewed the entire front piece at last. Now I just need to put it together with the batting and the back piece of fabric. I don't want to tie it. I want to have someone quilt it with a machine that does cool quilting patterns. Does anyone know someone in my area with a quilting machine or a place I can have it done for a reasonable price? Please help!
It is far from perfect. There is a pucker mark in one spot and some places aren't even, I can see tons of mistakes, but I love it. I loved watching it come together and I can't wait to see the finished product.


I've only attempted making a quilt once before. It was much smaller too.

Paisley is darling.

Look, I'm big.

Oh Crap! How do I get off this thing?

*laughs* at commentary of Paisley. Elora does the same thing on several different items everyday. It annoys me. Darling quilt!

I love the fabrics you used in the quilt! I wish I knew how to machine quilt- it's going to be so cute!

wow, you and your family are gorgeous. I think you may be right about the insane part but I dont know about the nice :) I have really enjoyed doing the projects, but I am afraid of trying the block quilt, cause I don't really know what I am doing. :)
