Ruthie's Quilt is Done!

Sorry I've been quiet for a couple days. Between work and Rosh Hashanah it's been a busy week. L'shanah tovah to all my friends out there in the blogosphere.

I finished the quilt for Ruthie's soon-to-be-born baby! Yippee! I actually finished it over the weekend but I haven't had a chance to get pictures up until today. This quilt definitely taught me some much needed lessons, like measure twice and cut first, but only after you've quilted! I must say I am really pleased with how it turned out. It's going to be hard to give this one up, but I can't wait to meet the little one to whom it belongs. Little him or her should be here very, very soon. I really enjoyed the process of making this quilt as well as the overall aesthetic. I think I will be making many more of these in my future.

Ruthie's Quilt is finished at approximately 38.5" x 38.5". I used the tutorial found here at Crazy Mom Quilts. If you want to make the baby sized version like I did, I ended at Week 6. So the materials needed will be less than in the tutorial, obviously. I'll get back to you with exact numbers if you're interested. The Yellow and Green fabrics are from the Hello Betty line by Chloe's Closet for Moda. The sashing is Moda Bella in Bleached White. The backing is a single cut of Amelia Stripe by Timeless Treasures and the binding is Kona in Banana.
