Finished

I finished my quilt and I love it.  I used an old sheet I had for the backing so it really only cost me the price of batting...not bad. 
This quilt makes two that I've made that have sentimental value to me.  The first one I made when Matt was 2 years old.  The reason it is special to me is because I was working on it when I got the call that my grandpa had passed away.  Now every time I look at that blanket it reminds me of my grandpa but not in a sad way.  I just think of him when I see it and he was a wonderful man...one of the best in my opinion. :)  His blanket is in the last picture with the one I just finished.  Being almost 9 years old it is worn but that doesn't matter.  I'll hang onto it until it is falling apart.
