Made with love.

You guys, I did it.

I finally did it.

I made my first...

Whew. 

When I got my sewing machine a few years ago, making a quilt was always my goal.

So when I found out this winter I was going to be an aunt {x2}, I knew I had to finally do it.

What better reason?!

So I got to work on my little nephew's baby quilt.

Oh goodness, it was hard.

A lot of cutting crooked, seem ripping {SO much seem ripping}, a few tears of frustration, and lots and lots of love & prayer went into to this little guy.

I have to say, the prayer part was my favorite.

Let's just say I spent a lot of hours on this guy, so I had lots of time to pray for my little nephew as I worked.

I prayed for who he already is and who he's going to become, but mostly that he knows how loved he is and that he learns to love Jesus.  

I couldn't find one great tutorial to use, so I used a combination of several! Here's what I found helpful!

Four Patch pattern

Amylouwho's Basting tutorial

Diary of a Quilter's machine binding tutorial

{all fabric from Joann's!}

And I'm OVER THE MOON excited to finally be able to link up with this week's Sew & Tell with a quilt project! Usually its just basic stuff like camera straps and aprons :)

Another life goal...checked off the list!
