Justins String Quilt

i received these blocks in a giveaway on Kates blog exactly 4 years ago...wow...has it really been 4 years?!?  Justin is always complaining that i give away all my quilts and we never keep any!  He also wanted a quilt we could all cuddle up under together, so I decided to make a larger quilt, and sewed 18 more blocks to increase what i already had.  I was originally planning on tying this quilt, but after having two other quilts professionally quilted by someone else, i thought i would have this one done too.  It was much too heavy and large to try on my own!  For another 22 bucks they did the binding for me as well....TOTALLY worth it!

So here they are...modeling the new quilt!  Justin joked, "after 15 years of hanging out with this quilting chick, i finally get a quilt!"  Well, i hope you like it babe!
Meanwhile, it was bedtime and Jordyn was in her room with the lights out, but somehow managed to make this little note for me and then snuck downstairs to present it to me.  (these are the moments of parenthood i treasure)   i love you too sweetheart!
