I have never entered a challenge before where the quilts would be in a quilt show. I like knowing that the quilt would be presented to a Veteran later on too - a win win situation.
I had lots of help along the way.
As I had my quilt up on the design wall - it left me room for other's opinions.
The boys have lots of opinions.....
But I got it pieced and starting quilting it..
and more quilting
And here it is!
And again - I think this one shows more of the quilting detail.

And the back!
And the binding.
And why yes... I did do the binding.... It was the major holdup in getting it sent off
*sigh*

The quilting is lovely, and the yellow is such a fun and cheerful choice! Yay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt! I also often pick the pattern first than the fabric, it is much harder the other way around.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a great job! The quilting designs you chose are really wonderful looking. Congratulations on such a nice finish.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I love that the boys put in their 2 cents on your design - it made for a great finish!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect! I love how the colors are set off by that gold! And, I love that binding! (I hate binding too!)
