It's done!

I finally finished Elianna's quilt!  I'm so proud of myself; I'm proud that I did not give up and finished what I started.  It took my about a year to finish it, but it's done.  I believe it took me that long because I've never actually taking on a project like this before, it's a lot of planning.  Also, time management, knowing when it's best to work on it with a little one around and finally, being pregnant.  There were a few months that I did not and could not do any extra curricular activities.  I finally told myself, that Elianna's blanket would be done before "Mark Jr's" arrival and ta-da...it's done.

It's not perfect by any means.  I learned as I went with this project, but I'm happy to say Elianna loves it.  Her exact words or word when it was presented to her, "Nice."

Here's the front.  I picked different patterns and sizes.  I did not want a perfect shaped pattern.  The different fabrics remind me of Elianna and her personality. 
  
This is the back.  Yesterday we went to the fabric store and Mark was the one who saw this pattern first and I fell in love with it. 

Mark seems to enjoy Elianna's blanket as well.
