Finished Blanket!

OK, So I sorta cheated and mailed this quiltop to my mom and had her take it to her local quilt shop to be quilted. I will NEVER finish another blanket again. It cost me less than $50 and this lady quilted my whole blanket with this cool stars and swirls design in varigated thread. AND she did the binding.
I absolutely love it! Isn't it pretty? My only complaint is the batting is really thin, so next time I will have to send my own.
Alot of my friends have seen this blanket, it was hanging on the wall in my old house as I was completing blocks.
Once I finished the whole top, I didn't like it all together so I took a few pieces off and made the blanket smaller. So it has become a large lap quilt (It was supposed to be a king).
It turned out so good! I am so proud. Don't tell anyone I cheated....
