I got bored a little while ago with nothing to do (I mean nothing I wanted to do) so I went looking for an easy project. I found this blanket on the Moda website and thought that it looked easy enough.
I found a charm pack {Giddy by Sandy Gervais} that was on sale and snatched them up. I bought coordinating fabric for the edges and binding. I had the front panel done in a few hours and then I sent it off to be quilted.

When I got it back from the quilters I had already made the binding so that night I sat down and put the binding on. Making my own binding isn't perfect yet but someday I hope it will be.

The quilter did a flower pattern all over the quilt that I absolutely just love. 
She also did the same pattern on this quilt that I made.

Your quilt is beautiful! I really like it. On my blog I have posted a tutorial for the way I do machine-sewn binding. Maybe this will help you. I now enjoy putting binding on whereas before I understood the steps really well, I loathed that step.

I'm so impressed! I love to sew all sorts of things-clothes, baby toys, baby accessories...but still have yet to make a quilt.
You are an inspiration.
Thanks!

The fabrics you chose for the quilt are great. (I am over from Tatertots and Jello).
Stopping by from Quilt Story. I didn't have anything to link up, but still like to see all the pretties.
Your Giddy quilt looks lovely! I am often in the "nothing I WANT to do" phase too. :-)
That is super cute! Pratice makes perfect, and I am in the same boat with my bindings, LOL!
