Quilt Finish: So Early in the Morning

The big reveal... This baby sat unfinished in the closet for many moons before I got around to quilting the poor thing... Finally, I found the motivation to bring it out and started working on it for real about a month ago. I call this one "So Early in the Morning" in celebration of all the stitching that was done in those wee hours...

Here's a long shot:

It is machine-pieced and hand-quilted by yours-truly and is, in all likelihood, the girliest quilt I have ever made (I'm making a concerted effort to embrace my pastel pink and yellow side). As you can see, it is a scrappy quilt.

Here's a close-up:

And finally, the flannel backing:

And it is going on Lo's and my bed because we really need a summer weight blanket and this will do the trick!
