Strawberries and Cream....Finished

I've finished my second quilt for the year....in the same month as the first....I finished hand-stitching the binding down this morning. The dark pink on the binding is what I have used for the backing as well...so cute!!
This is Annaliesa's first quilt but I already have another one being planned in my head....using the michael Miller trucking material that I bought ages ago....just have to make it girly enough....Here is the pile of presents we will be taking down with us next week! As well as the Golden book 'Where do kisses come from?'
