Finished: The Wedding Quilt

It’s done, tagged and washed.  Lots of crinkly goodness!  I love this quilt, and I am seriously having a hard time preparing myself to give it away.  At least I know they will love it and cherish it.  We fly out this week, and you can bet that this beauty will not be put into checked baggage, but will be my allotted carryon.  There is NO WAY I am risking this getting lost. 

Now, for the gratuitous quilt shots (prepare yourself, I couldn’t help but load lots!).IMG_0248Pre-crinkley washing: IMG_0194I tried to get all the pictures done while the munchkins were asleep.  As you can tell, that did not happen!  This little creature crawled right in under the foot of the bed and wiggled his way to the top and made himself right at home under Uncle Tobi’s Quilt.  He looked too cute, so I couldn’t make him go!
