Oh -- this was a labor of love. Made the quilt design and the quilting template and seemed like it took forever to quilt. Had a little snafu with marking the template. Used a washable marker and some of the 'dots' for the marking didn't come off, but the the template design is so dense and after washing the quilt scrunched up a lot and so it's very hard to see the dots on a couple squares. Had to point them out to my DH and he said don't worry about it, nobody would notice.

I'm not in love with the colors but they do bring out the colors of the embroidery, it's just that you can't see the colors of the embroidery that well. My daughter also loves chevrons and all of the colors on the back of the quilt are also in the embroidery so I incorporated it into the back of the quilt. She really loved that part so she can use either side and can also see the quilting on the back of the quilt.

My daughter has seen a pic but she won't receive the quilt until her birthday in October, so it will be a surprise 'again' when she sees it in person.

Just handstitching the binding and will be finished tonight. Now....on to the next quilt. A 3yd lap quilt for my grandson.....Cars...yep....that's it.
