The quilt!

As promised, be it a few days late, pictures of my newly finished quilt.
I called it Little Boy Blue. I pieced it about 3 years ago, I did not have enough backing fabric, so I pieced that a bit too. Great idea right? I thought so, but the quilter didn't. So I learned a new skill with this quilt, quilting on my own machine.
It's very basic and possibly a little too sparse, but it felt good so I left it as it was.

And the most awesome thing about this quilt is that I was able to donate it to the Festival of Trees. I have no idea where it will go, but I am happy that wherever it is its for a good cause. I love supporting Primary Children's Medical Center.
Now I am back to the eternal basting process for this quilt:

of which I have one block done (the pink contrast did not pick up well in the photo at all)


And a mini workout update. I've done a great job this week in the workout department, not so much in the avoiding delicious cake department, but I'll try harder. LOL P90X cardio workout kicks some serious butt, but it was fun!
