My friend had a baby shower last week (luckily she's having a girl) and it was just the motivation I needed to finish it up. My plan for closely-spaced straight line quilting seemed less awesome when it was in fact taking me all of forever to quilt it. I decided that the lines would ebb and flow between close together (1/4 inch) and further apart (2 inches). I think it turned out very nice like that, but then I saw crazymomquilt's big quilt that was done entirely with the close-together straight lines and I immediately wished I'd had the patience to keep going with the 1/4 inch spacing. I'm such a quilting baby.

Great quilting! It does get exhausting sometimes, doesn't it? So nice you got your quilt done in time for the shower-congrats!
It looks great! And seven months isn't so bad really. I've had a few take me seven years! LoL Congrats on your finish!
you did a great job on your finish! i love the simple blocks and the straight line quilting combined. it makes for a fabulous quilt! that quilting can be a bugger, can't it? (especially if you are in a time crunch!)
