Taffy Rainbow

 I'm going to try something novel and write a post!  How crazy, right?!  Don't freak out.

 

Believe it or not, I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  I've been doing the school thing and the work thing and I've been doing a little crafting here and there. 

This particular quilt is for my brand new niece.  I called it "Taffy Rainbow" because I made it from a strip kit that was called Taffy.

 Just can't seem to get enough of bargello quilts. 

Here's a snapshot of the back.  I struggled a little with the first thread I picked out... too think.  I think the back up thread worked out just fine.

And this was the first time I had done pieced binding and I love the effect.  It was just the right tough for this quilt, I think.

It felt great to get in some quilting since I've mostly been knitting and crocheting a lot late.  Hopefully I'll get some posts together on some of those other finished pieces.

Oh, and don't look now, but here's that new little star!  Love her!

Linking this up to Met Monday and lots of other fab parties... check out my Linky Parties tab!
