Over the past few days I have been spending time working on hand stitching the binding onto the back of this quilt and I finally finished it very early this morning.

I love the way this quilt turned out - I love everything about it...except the reason I made it. I have decided to call it 'A Warm Hug' and I hope that every time Carol uses it that she will feel the warm hug that has been stitched into it.
This quilt finished at 58" x 66" and was quilted using a pantograph called Double Plume. Something that I must keep in mind is that the size of the finished quilt really is affected by quilting. When I loaded the flimsy on the frame it was actually 60" x 69". Of course, the difference in size does depend on how dense the quilting is. Even though it did shrink a fair bit I think it is still the perfect size for a cuddle quilt.
