A Lovely Year of Finishes - June

Wow, I can't believe it is the end of June already.  I feel like this year is flying by.  I finished up my goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes about 2 weeks ago and I can't believe it took me this long to write about it.



I started Orion's quilt right after he was born.  I had an idea what I wanted to do, but once I saw his sweet little face I knew exactly the quilt for him.  I finished the top quickly and it took me a little bit to figure out how I wanted to quilt it.


So I decided on quilting it with straight lines vertically about 3 inches apart and then 4 sets of 4 horizontal lines that are 3 inches apart.   I think that it will be enough quilting to hold up to a growing little boy.


The back is a fun letter print.  I picked it up a while ago from my LQS and it matched perfectly with the front.  And I have to share my excitement that this entire quilt came from my stash!  (Em, I know you know how big my stash is and you probably aren't too surprised, haha.)


I really love his name on the quilt.  I sent it out to the little guy this week.  Can't wait to hear what his mommy thinks of it.


I am linking up to the June Finishes at Sew Bittersweet Designs and Fiber of All Sorts.  There are so many great projects that were finished this month!  Hmm, now to decide for next month.
