    Red face Grandma Betty's quilt top finished (3-D Pinwheels)

    The end result measured 64" x 76". This is the quilt I'm making to give to my boyfriend's grandma to make her new apartment in a retirement community more comfortable. I'm thinking that this will be the first quilt I try to FMQ rather than just stitch in the ditch.

    No border (boyfriend and cats sunning themselves in the background)

    With border

    *Side note* I think every single one of the pictures I take of quilts have cats in them.
