Finally another finish!

     One of the last quilts that I completed was the one for my "princess " granddaughter, so it has been a while since I have been on here.  School started and the circus really got into full swing.  With a daughter in college ( where every professor  thinks they are the only one and papers galore have to be written), a granddaughter beginning kindergarten, a four year old who just doesn't get it that he can't go with his sister, and my husband's work schedule changed, it has proved to be a hectic time here at my house. However, I have finally completed my grandson's "all things with wheels" quilt.  This child loves and I mean loves things with wheels! The bigger more rumbling the better!!  One of the adventures that LaDonna and I went on during the time she and I were together  last year, I found some fabric that just screamed to be made for the boy.  Long story short, I finally got it finished in spite of all of the interruptions.  LaDonna has been telling me that she couldn't wait to see it and since I took it out of the dryer yesterday, I can now post the pictures.
    I did have to rip out some of the quilting and switch to the wonderful Aurifil. I thought I could at least try to use up some of the other thread that I had but once again, I was proved wrong.  I have learned my lesson.  Piecing with the other thread is fine....but for quilting...Aurifil all the way!  Once again, my sister was right!!

I did different kinds of quilting on this quilt....stippling, waving lines, diagonal lines, swirling circles and attempted the pebbling ..... which turned out to be much more enjoyable that I though it would be.

    So now I am off to the next.  At this time, I am working on a baby quilt for one of my former students and then stockings for my granddaughter's class.  I really  have to get busy!.....there are 23 children in her class so far!!!
