Well I have two finishes :D

The first I stitched this at the beginning of 2011 and it's been sitting around because I didn't know what to do with it. I was going to turn it into to so many things. I bought a nice backing fabric with the intention of turning it into a nice cushion cover or something. So while I was trying to find fabrics for my baby cube this came out of a draw and I just decided to finish it. I tried a new (for me) technique for the edging and I love the effect! So sparkly and pretty.

Teasing you with the back photo :D

Design from one of the WOCS magazines.

The cool edging

The top where I have the loop and the join of ribbon!

Because

And the real reason for this whole post I actually finished the Baby Cube as the baby it's for was born yesterday! A healthy baby boy!

I used the sewing machine to sew it up. Each panel is backed by iron-on interface. It was interesting sewing the stripes as I had to be careful to keep them straight. I think I did a good job. The corners aren't perfect but it's the first time I've ever done this and I'm really happy :D

Anyway hope you enjoy the pictures :D I had fun with the camera and angles :D but it's impossible to get a photo of opposite side of a cube at once unfortunately.
