Quilts!

I've finally finished the kids' baby blanket quilts! Kayden was attached to her flannel receiving blankets and I was tired of it (cause they were being dragged all over the house) so I finally decided to make her blankets into a quilt. A quilt that would stay in her bed at all times. And wen Levi saw Kayden's, naturally he wanted one too. So I dug up his old receiving blankets and made him a quilt too. I did most of the stitching back in summer and the kids have been using them. I had a hard time finding the right colour for Kayden's binding but I finally got my hands on a pink fabric that was close enough and finished the binding today! It was the cutest...she was sitting on my lap while I was sewing and kept putting her head down on the blanket while I was stitching, rubbing her face in it and saying "soft." I blame the parts of the binding that aren't completely stitched down on that pulling and tugging... yeah, right. I'm usually just not careful enough the first time around when I sew and end up having to fix and redo. Oh well. The odd time it works out the first time, I do it in less time because I cut corners ;) Worth the extra work every other time? Probably not. Sigh.

These are beautifully heavy quilts. I bought nice, dense blankets from mcc for the insides. I bleached them and washed them and it was perfect "stuffing" to make the nice and warm and heavy. Now I want one...!
