This quilt is my first flannel quilt and probably my last for awhile. I'm not a huge fan of the material- it seems to shrink unpredictably and I think I lost some of the color in the first wash. This my 1st finished (2nd started) Warm Wishes quilt and was made for Cayden's first birthday! He is the first person to have 2 of my quilts, if you count the other quilt that was made for his baby shower.
This next one is made for a stranger named Gracie as part of the Reddit Secret Santa swap. I couldn't find much about her on the internet, but I did come across some youtube videos of her singing and playing guitar for an audience, so I made her a music quilt. This quilt is actually my first made entirely of leftover fabric from other projects so it was inexpensive and "green." It's my 3rd started but 2nd finished Warm Wishes quilt. I will not allow the next quilt I start to be Warm Wishes!

My wedding quilt is back from the long-arm quilter! Yay! While I'll admit that I am not thrilled with the quilting, I'm not sure I'd be happy with anything except my own. It was simply too big to do on my machine. Some day I'll have a longarm machine!
Anyway, I'm super excited for it to be done and only have to do the binding. I'm not too sure exactly what I'll do with it, but it's been 18 months in progress. Eventually I'd like to hang it above our bed or maybe on a living room wall, but with all the work that'd be, it might be better to save it for when we buy a home.
Pictures to come when it's bound. I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to hang it on the wall because of it's weight, so maybe I'll lay it out on the floor or something :)
