First Ever Quilt... FINISHED!

With all the birthdays and Christmas presents to think about, I had a hard time deciding who this blanket would be for. Brother in law? Brother? Husband? Son? Myself? Let's just say, the "Myself" category was ranking pretty high. I love the colors of this blanket and with all the work I put into it, I thought it would be fun to keep. As I made the blanket, my husband kept drooling over it. His birthday was last week. So before I went to the "Quilting" phase, I had designated this blanket be his.

I'm proud to say that I've finally finished this blanket. It took a lot of work, I made lots of mistakes, but I've survived!

Here are a couple pictures to show my success:
Finished!!

Look at that beautiful binding!
Also, if you are needing help with the binding--  mostly how to do it and maybe you require pictures (like myself), check out this blog. She took lots of pictures and was incredibly helpful to me.

Happy Blanket Making!!
