it’s done!!

here is the quilt i posted about earlier–all finished!

in the end, i decided to go with slightly wonky lines, both vertical and horizontal (good suggestion, ya’ll).  i also decided to go with a pieced binding (my first!) since the backing fabric was just one solid piece of pink flannel.

i was a little worried that the flannel would be a pilly and yucky after washing, but now that i’ve washed it twice (once before it was sewn up as a quilt and once after) i think it will be fine.  here’s a photo of it after it’s been washed–all wrinkled and yummy:

i’m pretty happy with the way it turned out.  i probably say that about all of my quilts when they’re done, but i do really like this one.  here’s a close-up of one of the birds:

i hope that my friend (and her imminent baby girl) like it!
