Finished At Last!

I finished Baby Adrian's Quilt! Remember this post?

I was able to take Little Adrian his quilt when we went up to Provo for his baby blessing, two Sundays ago.  Here he is on it:

Isn't he a doll? The quilt came out pretty good, too. Here is how I did it.
    As I told you I would do, I sandwiched the batting between the top and the bottom and macine quilted it in channels.  I think you can see that in the above photo, but her is another picture.

Folded and edge finished.

Then, I folded the strips in half and folded under the edges to finish them. Put your iron to good use.

Sometimes I had to sew strips together to make them long enough. Please try not to notice my singed ironing pad.

This is a photo of the finished quilt.  Don't look too closely at the crooked lines, but I don't think it is too bad, do you?
Next, I cut strips of my edging fabric.  I cut the strips 3 inches wide because I wanted some of the cute ABC animal print to show.  

I started by pinning the strip onto the back of the quilt.

Then I stitched the strip on with a straight stitch.

Next, fold the strip to the front, folding under the ends to finish them. Here are some photos to show the process.

I used a decorative stitch on the front that caught the edgo of the finishing strip and covered the straight stitch on the back.

I was really happy with the end results! I have enough of the edging fabric left over to make a lighter weight blanket for my other little cutie. We live in Phoenix, so I think a light blanket will be just the thing to keep the air conditioner from gettin him cold.  I will be posting about that soon.  In the meantime, enjoy a few more pictures of my cuties!
