Guess what!?! It's done! And I am so thrilled with how it turned out...
Let me present to you my version of CAKE WALK !!! {A Pattern by Lori Holt}
One of the funnest quilts I've worked on ever... a little bit of applique, a little bit of embroidery...
a little bit of ric rac ....
and my own little contribution; {birthday candle's}...
All the women 18 years old and up on my mom's side of the family, get together for our Birthdays once a month. We have a little Birthday Club! When I saw this quilt, I knew I had to make it! And that I had to add a little birthday candle to some of the cakes... When I host the Birthday Club, I'll have this quilt hanging on the front room wall!
It took me a while just because my life has been so busy. But I enjoyed sewing every inch of this quilt...
And can you believe this fun backing I found at JoAnn's! {i bought the last of the bolt and haven't been able to find it since}...
I also used it on the borders... the colors were PERFECT! {I had already picked out and started sewing the cakes when I found the cute print}...
The quilting isn't perfect-o on this quilt, but I'm O.K. with that. Overall I think it turned out pretty darn cute ....
Here are 8 of the 12 cakes on the quilt....
And can I just say how nice it is to FINISH a project. {I have way too many un-finished at the moment...}

Your quilt is adorable - what a fun birthday decoration!
Yummy!
That is just adorable and beautiful at the same time! love your birthday traditions too!
I love it!
I love that you say the quilting isn't perfect..thank goodness. As a new quilter and only one queen size quilt under my belt and machine quilted myself! That took for ever...why didn't someone tell me that my first quilt should have been a baby quilt or a wall hanging...goodness it takes a lot to get the hang of machine quilting!
Love your site and all the wonder sites out "there"
You all inspire me to just go for it and enjoy the process. Thanks Tee
Cute, cute, cute. I'd love to make this for my grand daughter. Maybe I could start a block for each year until she's 18. There's an idea!
Oh my gosh, I love it! Wonderful job. I'm your newest follower. Please come visit me at my new blog, Ric Rac and Polka Dots. I'm pretty new, but have lots of fun things planned to share! So nice to meet you!

Such a sweet quilt - love it! As for the non-perfect-o quilting...I think quilts are like people - I love them most when they're really nice, but not perfect!
G'day. Just stunning. Totally love it. Take care. Liz...

This is so sweet! I made a birthday quilt that we hang every year and my sons take their picture in front of it. Mine has cakes on it too but yours are much, much cuter!
This is fabulous. I actually love making quilted cakes and I think I might try something like this in fondant.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE this quilt! You did such an amazing job. Pinning it ~ and wishing it was mine! ;-)
