My granddaughter said she is never losing any of her teeth EVER. But she wanted a toothfairy pillow and she wanted a cat on it.

Well, here's what I'm up to lately. A friend is having a baby, so I decided to take up quilting. This is the top of my first quilt so far. The pinwheels (squares) are 4 inches, the white strips in the middle are 1 inch, the white border is 2 inches, and the patchwork border is 1 inch. A 3 inch border will finish the top. Then I attach the batting and the back (baby blue). And then, most nerve-wracking of all, I start to quilt it. That's the point of no return. I can't make a single mistake or it shows.
:shock:
I sure hope my inexperience doesn't show too much when it's finished.

Very nice! Don't forget to add a label so people will know its history in years to come.
