Its finished!!

I've worked on this quilt off and on for several months now. I've made small art quilts in the past just figuring out what to do as I went along. A very good friend of mine moved away last spring and I worked on this with another friend as a going away gift. I thought I would have completed it a lot sooner, but it became obvious that I didn't really know what the heck I was doing when it came to making a big quilt. I enjoyed working on it and did learn a lot in the process. I definitely learned not the use the quilt batting that's 2 inches thick. It drew the quilt right up. Eek! The quilt started out huge, going off the edges of my dining room table. Once completed, it was about a third of the size. The handprints are all the right size as I sewed around them.

This quilt is hand sewed and has handprints of all the kiddos in our playgroup.
