The quilt is finished!

I took some time to put the binding on the quilt today:

Another Finished Quilt!

It is a huge relief to have this one finished.  In a lot of ways, this quilt is one of the reasons that I have a fabric addiction.  I saw this pattern in a magazine in 1998 or 1999.  It was a scrappy quilt--each square had a lot of different fabrics in it.  For some reason, I fell in love with it and decided to make one for me.  I really hadn't made a pieced top before.  The first square was pretty pathetic.  I had used a .5 inch sewing allowance instead of .25 inch, and I hadn't been careful enough with my cutting. 

The next square was better.  Pretty soon, I had enough to make the quilt top.  And, I got them all sewn together.  But, there it sat.  For years. 

Now, it is finished, washed, and ready to put on the bed tonight.

It is more than time!
