Yahooooo, I finally finished Megan's quilt. The fabric was purchased about a year ago and it just sat amongst all my other fabric. I had kind of forgotten about it, but when we moved back to Vancouver I rediscovered it and decided that I wanted to decorate Megan's room around it and all of the fun colors. Since I was busy with my new house my Mom was nice enough to cut out the pieces and start sewing them into blocks. Then she got busy with Emily and Andrew's wedding planning and with her new house and gave it all to me. I finished sewing the blocks and then pieced it all together. I then gave it to Nancy and she quilted it for me. When I got it back from Nancy I let it sit for a week or two and just this weekend I finally found the time to do the binding. It's taken a year and three Jensen women, but it's done and I LOVE IT! I also made some throw pillows, curtains, and a ribbon memory board to match. I am also going to start working on a matching wall hanging sometime soon. I am excited to see it all coming together. Now we just need to get Megan a bedroom set...maybe that will come for her 3rd birthday in May??

Oh my gosh Katie, it looks BEAUTIFUL!!! You did such an awesome job. I'm jealous. Ashlee has a cute one, but of course Mamma Funk made it! I have made quite a few, just none for us!! I'll have to change that!!
Oh my word!! That looks so Pottery Barn to me!! GORGEOUS! Have you always been a quilter? I love it! Also, your pix below are SO cute!!! The orange rolls look yummy. That's sad about your Grandma, but of course, good if she was in pain.
Yeah it looks fabulous! I can't wait to see it close up!

Yeah for a beautiful quilt! I bet that little Megan just loves it. I guess you better get started on one for Daniel now : ).
You did an amazing job!! It looks too cute!
That turned out so adorable, Katie; you're amazing! I agree: it looks like something out of a Pottery Barn catalog!
