the quilt is done

ok, here we go!
phoebes quilt is done and ready to be packed up and put in the mail, to be shipped to a different continent. i love how it looks with the satin binding. it really feels great and that's the most important for a child. i did realize that when i wanted naomi to use an other blanket in order for me to quickly wash her regular (white fleece with satin binding), the one i offered was nice and she liked it but could not go to sleep..... her fingers didn't know what to do.
that's why i decided to use satin and it does feel great.

this the little cat catching fish detail... i think it's funny, but you don't see it right away. the quilt is not tied together but it is hand sewn, as you might see in the photo. i chose circles and it turned out to be very suddel which pleases me.
this is the all folded up and tied up package, i had some satin left and used it.
tomorrow is the day, so bare with me that it doesn't get lost in the mail!
