One quilt down, 50,000 to go...plus other important business!

Well of course I don't have 50,000 more quilts to make, but it certainly feels that way, and I possibly have enough fabric for it...but still, it might be a slight exaggeration. 

Hayden's Quilt is done, and that is a wonderful thing!  Normally I name my quilts, but the only name I can think of for this little quilt, is the Froggy Quilt.  Adorable frogs courtesy of Amy Schimler (little amy shim shim to those in the know), and Robert Kaufman. 

This was supposed to be finished back in early December, then the whole freak accident thing happened with Melissa, and all my plans flew out the window.  But it is done now, and on Monday morning it will merrily be on it's way to Denver, Colorado, to a precious little baby named Hayden.

I have a confession to make...this quilt was also going to be a pattern that was for sale, but after completing it, I had a change of heart.  There is just no charting, or describing where to put all of those circles.  Some quilters have no tolerance for instructions that say, "oh, just put as many circles as you like", or "just keep adding circles till you run out of room, or run out of fabric, or you get sick of cutting them out''.  No, that kind of help, isn't any help at all in some people's mind...go figure!  This quilt has now become a one of a kind.

  I hope baby Hayden loves the quilt, and I hope it becomes his favorite blanky...something to be treasured forever <3

It is just gorgeous. I love the sneak peeks of the frogs. As for the circles, couldn't you just say place circles randomly? Or do people really need the exact placements for that kind of thing? I guess I'm just too easy going and unstructured for that kind of detail. ;-)
