Yea! I finished this quilt just in time for my niece’s bridal shower tomorrow. Nothing like last minute quilting, right?
I absolutely love how this speedy quilt turned out. It is called “Sunshine Makes Me Happy Quilt” from the book Strip Happy. And I am definitely happy with the finished quilt. If you want to see how I made this quilt in a morning, you can read about it here.
I used Aqua minky on the back so it would be snuggly and cozy. And since binding is one of my favorite parts of quilting, I couldn’t resist showing the binding and corners. They are so square and pretty!
I folded it up neatly and just added a ribbon around it for wrapping. I like the look of quilts with ribbon. I hate to cover all of that colorful goodness with a bag or a box.
I know she is going to just love this gift. I can picture many warm years snuggled up on the couch watching Netflix together under this quilt. It will be SWEET!
Thanks for dropping by–Tracy:)
It's a T-Sweets day! 
Just recently found your darling blog and I love it! Question, do you machine stitch your binding or by hand?

Hi Brenda! I’m so glad you stopped by:). I machine stitch in the ditch using a stitch in the ditch foot. –I have a very big quilt to bind next week. I will blog about it with pictures:)

I so agree with you on the “wrapping thing”! If the weather is not nice I might slip it into a large gift bag, too, for protection, but it looks so pretty with the ribbon. Truly a “Sweet” gift!!!!!
