Done! Dad’s Quilt is Done!

April 21, 2009

Though I really didn’t think I would finish it, Dad’s quilt is done! Handwork is done on the binding, it’s been washed, it’s been dried, it’s folded, in the car and ready to head to Paducah!

And, the backing!  That’s a LOT of quilting!  See the next to bottom row, next to last one on the left, the one with the green center?  I went back and added a little feathered wreath in that green center.  It was the only one its size that had no quilting so . . fixed that and next time you see this quilt, you’ll see it with my Dad!  Yes, you must see it one more time.

Am I a good daughter, or what?  Of course I am! :)

Oh man, it is awesome. Is it going to be one of a kind, or maybe a pattern for sale one day? I’m in, if it is.
Great job again. I am going to start buying nothing but solids! WHEN I buy, of course.

That is a TON of quilting – and you even went back and quilted some more! Great job, really. You pulled some late nighters on this one to get it done on time. And yup, I am sure we all want to see a picture of your Dad with the quilt! You always do such a great job of taking photos for your blog!! Cheers! Evelyn
