Baby snoopy quilt is finished.

Yippee! ~dancing around the room with glee.  I quilted it with designs from Sew Cal Gal's 2012 Free Motion Quilting project.
Trimmed off the excess backing and batting. Then made and attached the binding.
 
For binding, I follow Dara's method from Sew Snuggly quilts.
Of course, I've made a few changes to her tutorial.  I sew the binding on the backside first.
Rather than hand sewing the binding in place, I machine sew a three stitch zig-zag on the front side.
 
Next baby's name was embroidered on.
 
 My initials and the year.
Outside for a photo shoot.  It was very sunny, I did not use the cir-polarizing filter, so the colours of the quilt are wee bit overexposed.
 Ooops, the green ceramic pencil markings still need to be removed.
 
 
Now, I'm off to make a matching toy bag to pack the quilt in before mailing it Toronto.  Happy quilting all.

    1. Hi Larisa, Of course this quilt is for your son. I hope to have it mailed by this Friday. Doug and I are both looking forward to seeing you all and meeting Errol at Bryon's wedding.
