Snake Quilt Finished FINALLY
This is what I’ve been madly sewing away at, Alan’s snake quilt. It has been sitting unfinished for so long. I just found old pictures. They were dated 2003 so it’s been at least four years. FOUR YEARS!! How crazy is that?? I recently pulled it out and it’s been sitting on the couch just staring at me. So I started quilting what was left. I think I originally stopped because I ran out of thread and when I bought some more I just didn’t pick up where I left off. Well it happened again. I ran out of thread but this time I didn’t stop. I went immediately to buy more thread and then just kept on sewing. I didn’t want it to sit unfinished for another four years.
The design is from K.P Kids & Co. There are supposed to be black buttons for the eyes but I don’t want to put them on. It’s more comfortable without buttons on it.
And here is the backing.
Ok let me just do a happy dance that this is finally finished! Now I’m off to sew an octopus.

I remember you posting about this quilt before. I love it! The bright, citrus colors are great and the froggie backing is very cute.

Wow, great job! And I agree, it must be a lot more confortable without the buttons.
