April Showers Finished





Here is a finished quilt for my daughter. I caIled it April Showers. I finished it two weeks ago, for the first finish of my Spring to Finish 2. She picked out the fabric and pattern (5 and dime by All Washed Up). I had something on hold for me at a LQS in November. She and I were out doing something other errands and I decided to go to the store because I would only be in and out. Well, she changed my plans. She found this fat quarter kit and decided we just had to buy it. Of course I did. Then at Christmas time I got a gift certificate for another quilt store. Well, we went there together, and found the pattern which we liked better. We also chose the cupcake fabric because there were some fabrics I did not like in the kit and bought the backing there as well which I just love. I like the movement from babies to children in terms of quilting. It is neat to learn more about children so that their quilts become more personalized. Tammy did a fabulous job on the quilting.
