She's done!

I finished the Color Wheel quilt and hung it yesterday.  YAY!  I took it to the park in hopes to work on it while Asher slept in the stroller and Carver played in the sand (its basically spring time here in California).  Doesn't that sound nice?  Unfortunately Asher had other ideas and decided that he needed to be held.  What's a mama to do?  Luckily both boys napped very well that afternoon and I was able to finish up the binding and hang it up.
I love, love, LOVE how it warms up the playroom.   (Don't tell but I hung it up with push pins...I know... bad bad bad...But it worked!)  I just want to sit and stare at it all day.
It was a fantastic way to utilize the stash and really added some great and needed color to our playroom walls.

    Hey Tyra! Cute, cute quilts! Love the color wheel! I totally can relate to being addicted to fabric stores! Anyway, I wanted to ask you what kind of machine you use...do you quilt all your quilts yourself? My machine is pretty basic and I usually pay someone to quilt my quilts if I want them to look nice, but eventually I'd love to quilt my own! I was just curious what you do. Also, do you sew all your bindings by hand? Do you machine sew the bindings for quilts the kids use (I've heard they're sturdier, but have always done it by hand)? Sorry about all the questions...anyway, if you get a minute you can email me at erwight@gmail.com! Thanks so much and happy quilting!
