The seam ripper is my best friend

I ended up getting absolutely NOTHING done yesterday.  The boy was still not feeling well. :(  Buuuuut I got the color book done today! Yay!

So today was all about piecing the cover together and adding finishing touches.  This was more of pain than I expected it to be.  I need tips and tricks on how to cut and sew evenly.  The seam ripper was close by through out my sewing today.  I must have redone some of these at least a dozen times.  I guess I could have left them the way they were but then my cover would have come out all wonky.

On the front and the back I stitched in the ditch again and on the inside I tried out some free motion.  At first I wasn't really happy with how it turned out but it's growing on me.

Since everything came out so thick there was no way I was going to be able to sew it all together with the machine.  I used 6 stranded embroidery thread to help it stand up to the munchkin.  I really don't like how it ended up so there is a great possibility I'll be redoing this tomorrow!

Overall I really liked how it came out.  Yeah, it's not perfect but I don't think anything I make will ever be.  As long as I enjoyed the process then that is quite all right with me!  Let me know what you guys think!

OH! also, what's the best way (in your opinion) to quilt a log cabin block?
