The Traveling Quilt!

I usually don't spent alot a time on a quilt but for some reason this quilt took me foreeever to do.  It's made from a jelly roll I got on my trip to PA almost 3 years ago from a booth at the AQS.  It's civil war fabrics, which was a first for me and totally out of the ordinary.  Anyway it's been on a couple of quilting retreats with me, St. George and back home again only to get left in the sewing bag.

Well I finished it up in February and had Ramona work her magic on it, quilting it with an all over paisley design.  The backing is a Diamond Textile woven in dark brown.  The binding is quite similar to one of fabrics in the quilt.  I got it prepared and ready to take on our trip back in April so I could work on the binding.  It came out of the bag once! 

After we made it home from our trip I guess I had forgotten all about her.  When I was looking for something to take with me to the hospital to work on the day Kord was born I spotted the pink bag she was in.  Perfect, I'll take this and get her done.  I worked on it and got a few stitches done but I was just too excited to stitch.  So once again back in the bag she went.  I can finally say I finished up last month.

She's hung and lookin purdy in the family room downstairs at the White house.  "Whew", I thought she never get there!  She;s been on quite the journey.
