Well, it has been a couple of days since my last post.  I am so excited about the progress that I have made.

I got all of the rows sewn together.

I had some fun this weekend with out my little one.  I spent some time at my local craft store and quilt shop.  I rummaged through a ton of wonderful fabrics.  I managed to pick out a background fabric for this quilt.  I choose to use one of the fabrics that was in the quilt.  I thought that I was going to use purple, but when it came down to it, I just did not like it enough.  So, I choose the pink.

I think it looks a lot better than the purple option I was originally thinking of.  Once I got the fabric home, I noticed that my quilt top looked bare.  It needed a little extra finishing touches.  I came up with the idea to create a small border around it with the background fabric that I just bought.  I think it looks great so far.  Not to mention that Abby likes it too!

Unfortunately, now I think it needs a second border.  I already bought a blue fabric for the binding, but now I’m going to make a 3 inch border with it instead.  I’ll show pictures of that once I get that finished.  Since I used the backing fabric for a border, I am pretty sure that I do not have enough for the backing of the quilt, so I am going to have to buy more.
