Flimsy at Last

Took longer than I had hoped but I finally got the top done.  R was home from college briefly, I was called in to work extra days, etc, etc but the delay worked out fine.  I had more time to think about getting the borders on since I was unable to sew so I changed my original plan and went with solid corners in the outer border. I like having more yellow to liven it up even more for a baby and it was easier. So when I finally got 15 min to sew again it was DONE!

Thanks to a situation that has been hanging overhead for ages reaching resolution the quilt doesn't have to be done by mid-March after all. Phew!  I am happier for the resolution than the postponing because it means that we are good for overseas travel again!!  So I can hand-deliver!!!! either the pink quilt or this quilt to the new niece or nephew in Guatemala this summer.  We are so excited!

Spring break is next week. I will have plenty of time to get it quilted and then get this quilt and the pink & purple quilt bound for sure.  I am eager to get back to the red, white and blue quilt. 

Found a great place to photograph the quilt while killing time waiting for Middle E's activity - a 20 min drive for a 1 hr meeting in a really out of the way place :(   Little S remembered the playground at the athletic field nearby and saved us from sitting in a parking lot!  The view from the top of the slide/bridge is perfect to get a nearly direct overhead shot.   I have a feeling we will be back!

Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict to show off a finish.
