This is my newest quilt. Piecing was finished on Memorial Day (just for my Vet) and I have now completed the quilting and binding in time for his Birthday and Father's Day. It's a little early, but then considering it's the first one I've done for my DH, perhaps it's a little late :lol:

Still new to this...

Beautiful quilt and quilting. Did he know you were making it for him? Or is it a surprise?

I wasn't able to surprise him... kind of hard when he's always in my sewing room/computer room. I think he's happy though.

Thanks everyone... It turned out to be one of the toughest quilts I've made thus far. I've only been piecing for a few years, and quilting for one. And since I only do this on weekends (I'm a teacher), I'm pretty proud of this one. ;)
