Merry Christmas 2018 is all that I put on this quilt's label. Since it is being donated to the Salvation Army I didn't want to put my name on the label. That's probably silly, but I don't know if the kids think these gifts come from Santa Claus or what, so I just went with Merry Christmas and the year. I used a simple zig-zag stitch to turn the binding. I wouldn't want to do all of my quilt binding this way, but I think it turned out nice, and it was soooo much faster than doing it by hand. I would have felt rushed trying to get it finished before Sunday.
I really hope that the child who gets this quilt will like it. It is such a simple quilt, but when I was in middle school I loved hot pink! I really like the way that the quilt feels too. The diagonal quilting makes for crossed quilting lines every 4-1/4 inches. That seems like a really good distance to give the quilt body, but also be supple and soft. I'm really irrationally happy with how it turned out.
