[completed] sidney the fabulous snail quilt top

see Sidney?

Today I made a baby (36 x 36) quilt top! The pattern is from Dare to Be Square, a book I am loving more everyday. The instructions in the book are super clear and helpful. I highly recommend it. This is the second pattern I've followed from this book (I also made a placemat), and I am seriously in love.

The whole top - from cutting to pressing to sewing to more pressing to finished - took about two hours. Not too shabby, right? Really, the most time-consuming part of this quilt is all the pressing that is required to have the top lay smooth and flat.

Isn't Sidney (yes, I named the snail) just fabulous in all his paisley glory? I can't wait to finish this quilt!
