Sew What If I Had To Glue The Corner of This Quilt?

My first week blogging and my first Sew and Tell!   I made these two quilts for my cousin who had twins. Ashley and Olivia. They are sweet.  The girls and the quilts. I started these quilts three weeks before their baby shower and could only finish one on time. I'm such a procrastinator. Lets get on to the confession.. I totally glued the corners of the binding down. I thought that I had it right this time but nope. As I folded the binding back over the raw edges after sewing it down- my corners are short. I trim it as close to the stitch line as I can and still it's wonky. BUT, nobody knows that I glued them except you and I. I love these quilts. Wish I would have made myself one. The majority of the fabric is from the April Cornell Poetry collection. The colors make me want lay in a sunny spot and read until i drift off. The patterns are from a book called Sweet and Simple Baby Quilts by Mary Hickey. Check out the difference in the colors. All the fabrics are the same except one was photographed on my porch and the other indoors. Crazy. Talk about a lesson in lighting.



Glued and finished this week for Ashley (she's almost 2 -don't judge me).
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
For Olivia and delivered almost two years later..  OK go ahead and judge me
but keep in mind that I bought them great presents to make up for it!

  2. Baby quilts never seem to be made on time over here either! At least the second will be loved and hugged without fear of other fun unmentionable baby activities! ;)
