A quilt for Juliet part 2

So after I posted the first blog about Juliet's quilt I machine quilted the quilt and made the binding and then got lazy for a few days.  The quilt and binding sat on my craft desk staring at me until I finally got into gear and finished it.  It really didn't take long at all since I decided to machine bind it.  Knowing how much it will be used I felt that it was ok to be a slacker this time.


I quilted it by doing a straight stitch just next to the seems.  I was good at staying straight until my mind started to wander.  Oops.


I used one of the darker pinks for the binding.  It turned out super cute and I am in love with it.


After I started the quilt I was asked if I could make some shapes for the mobile that they already have from their first child.  They are just replacing the boy shapes with girl ones.  Since I still have plenty of fabric left over I said no problem.  So I will be making a star, sun, crescent moon, cloud, and of course a heart.  

I am linking up to Fabric Tuesday at A quilt Story with this finished quilt.

    I like the contrast on the back with the light fabric and the dark binding. Did you hand stitch the binding?

      I machine stitched it on because I didn't feel like hand sewing it, but you can't even tell because everything matched so well.

    This is so sweet! I love the color and fabrics you've chosen! What an awesome thing to be able to make "old" things "new" for someone special!
