i just love you guys!!!:)

Square Dance is done!!! Hip Hip Hooray!! All my graduation quilts are done!! I'm going to have to get a giveaway together!!!:)
This is the back of square dance and as you can tell I used what I had. I didn't have to buy any fabric for this quilt!! It feels so good. But why do I still have four drawers of fabric (filled) and stacks of fabric on shelves??? I'm trying to make a dent.:)

I did the kind of binding that amandajean has done. I did color to color. It wasn't as bad as I thought and I got closer to the colors than I thought I would so over all I think I would try this method again.

Here's where you can see the three different colors of binding that I did to match the back. I have to say I'm really learning to love a white solid in a quilt!! I love how it makes the colors PUNCH!!!:) I also want to thank everyone for the encouraging comments about the wee play quilt. With every comment I got that said quilts are to be used and loved and they can be washed I got more and more confident!!! I guess since this is my blog I obviously talk about what I do but I was starting to feel like I am sooooooooo selfish because all I talk about is what I do. I feel a little funny about that at times. This is the me space I guess.:) I think that's why I take some time off at times.:) Hope you have a great day! We'll see you tomorrow!!

    I love it! I think I may have to use that pattern idea. I especially like that white boarder. And the different bindings - it makes the back look great and then that cool color ahnge on the front - so cool! Being still fairly new, is that an offical pattern or did you wing it?

    I heard about your quilt at Crazy Mom Quilts Blog. Love the colors you've used and the way you put the blocks together. These are such fun to make, don't you think? I am currently putting one together also...have a pile of the blocks so far.
