The Quilt's in the Mail


I finished up the wedding quilt for Carling and Scott.  I packed it in blue tissue paper in a stray box from Costco, taped it up, addressed it to them in North Carolina, and took it to the post office.   Then I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.  This is the third quilt I've mailed, and I'm never comfortable with it: my baby!

Carling chose the quilt pattern from photos of quilts I've made; there was no way to adapt it, so I duplicated the quilt.  Then  I threw in the bright back to please myself.  On the lower left corner of the back, there's a label: "For Carling and Scott, Sept. 4, 2011," and then an embroidered heart, and my name.

Done.
