finally finished the quilt
I started this quilt last Feb (04) to give to me SIL who cuts our hair. I started it at a quilting retreat that my quilt guild did.

I was hoping to finish it before Ben's first hair cut (missed that by 10 months). Well, I finally finished it this morning by putting on the binding.

So here it is "Jacob's elevator" (I didn't name it). The quilt is roughly a twin size quilt on a king size bed.

Wow, that's a wonderful quilt!! I always admired the dedication it takes to make a quilt. I'm not patient enough for that adventure, but I sure do love a nice cozy quilt! (that someone else made )

Gorgeous Lisa no wonder it took so long....I am afraid I don't have the patience to even think about making something like that. Simply beautiful

Is it hand or machine quilted? I like the pattern and would love to see a close up of your work!
