Ava's Quilt-Finally Finished

I know you've seen this quilt-top a million times in process, but I finally was able to finish quilting it and put the binding on. I quilted this in my machine at home. I did stripes all the way around the border, and then did stitch-in-the-ditch around each white square. It was pretty cumbersome, but I wanted to try it on my machine.

Remember? All the hearts are either pieces of Ava's outgrown clothes, or fabric scraps.

For the backing I purchased pink and white polka dots in a larger print from Joanne's.

I love that Ava loves it and that it brings my kids warmth and joy to know that their Momma made them something...:)

Of course, like all of you, my heart is breaking over what happened in Haiti. I am so grateful that we are safe. That my children have food and clean water. That they have blankets to sleep with. Last night I dreamed terrible dreams over the devastation, and everytime I awoke I prayed that God would send much peace that way.

Have a peaceful weekend friends.
