Finally-----

..... another project done!  This one has been a long time in the making, four years in fact.  It is a belated first birthday gift for a special little girl who is turning 4 in a couple of weeks.  This quilt already has quite a history.  It is the last quilt I made before my stash of fabric went up in flames.  It has some pieces of fabric in it from my Mom's stash, but mostly from mine.  I only bought fabric for the back, and the other day, I bought fabric for the binding as well.  This quilt has also travelled many miles with me.  I was quilting it by hand on a hoop and so when we took trips by car it came with me and I quilted as we drove. Because of  it's trip to CA with me a couple of years ago, it was saved when our home was lost.  It has been to CA a couple of times, to  Alabama, and to Pennsylvania, and other places in between, and it might just feel a bit strange to travel without it, but it is time to give it to it's intended recipient.  I hope she will get a lot of pleasure out of it, and maybe I will have to get another quilt going so I have something to do when we drive.
