Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Now It Really IS Done!

Hi, all!

It's finally Friday - are you ready to get your whoop whoop on?  I am!  I was sitting here thinking I didn't have anything to post about, but then I checked back and found out that I actually did have something! So let's start the party!

Remember this quilt that I made over spring break this year?  The name "Nathanael's Ladder" was running through my head the whole time I was making it, because it was made using a modified Jacob's Ladder block and I was making it to auction or raffle off to raise money for the adoption of our Chinese grandson, Nathanael.  I wish I could post a picture of him - he's adorable - but for right now we're not allowed to do that.  Adoption agency rules.  Sorry!

Anyway, this week I finally finished the quilt!

I love the way the Kona white and Kona silver play off each other - low volume but distinct if you look for it.  And they were the perfect background for the Flea Market Fancy Legacy prints that I had been hoarding.  

For the back I used some of the Denyse Schmidt prints that were made for Joann's, along with some more of the 2" squares I used on the front.

Organic straight line quilting to finish it off - isn't that gorgeous texture?  It's soft and cuddly, too.  Sixty inches square and I love it!  Hopefully soon someone else will too!  We're still working out the details on the auction/raffle, but I should have more info soon!

We're so looking forward to filling that center chair with something other than a globe!!  And on the adoption front, I hope you'll check back on Monday - we're doing something special next week that I hope you'll want to be a part of!

So - - - can I get a whoop whoop?
