Dad's quilt is ready for quilting

Just a quick report to show you the progress of this lap quilt for my dad. I have this all pieced and it's ready to be quilted. Except I wasn't pleased with my backing fabric I had, so I'm headed downtown to try to find something better.  I know . . . picky, picky, picky.



This was such an easy pattern to sew together - it only took one afternoon, start to finish.  I like that! And I think the colors in this quilt will look great when it's all bundled up around my dad.  I think I'll quilt meandering leaves throughout to coordinate with the outside border. Kind of a free spirit, flowing look.


Actually, I wish I had it all quilted now - it's only 13 degrees at 2 p.m., and has been below freezing for several days.  I am not wanting to get outside at all.  Great time for quilting, though!

  6. I really like the warm rich colors you used. They are really pretty (if I can use this word for a guy quilt?). The pattern look really fun to sew.

I have let my blog side away in lieu of posting photos and updates over on Instagram. For me, it takes less time, and is a faster way to doc...
