Sounds really good! Can't wait to see it. It can be hard making a truly manly quilt.

Here it is...

I love it! The border especially intrigues me. I have never seen one like that. Beautiful! Great grey tone on tone fabric too. Any quilting plans yet for all those open black spaces?

Annaquilt, it is looking gorgeous.

i am putting the metal to the pedals.

I don't know yet. I think the whole "manly" thing means no feathers. Feathers aren't manly. I've got a few designs in the back of my head but no decisions yet.

I tend to think that too but my guys love feathers.

I some times do this sea shell look with pebbles.

love your quilt Kelly. She is quilting mine for you Tam Moo so you can sleep safely. Kelly is very good at this stuff! I am waiting to get it back so I can bind and send it on my way to you .. we can mail as soon as we are ready or do we have to wait for the end to mail? I always forget that stuff. sigh.

You need to PM Cindy (Yosa) when you're ready to mail - I think she gives you the go-ahead to send it out.

just sitting here waiting for Yosamitesa to tell me when to mail out "Illustrated Illusioms" to Mumukate. Meanwhile been working on my Yin/Yang quilt.

will do almost forgot about that part. ok did forget about that part. Sorry Cindy! soon as I get it back, finish the binding then I will write you first before mailing. phew. now its in the brain twice should work. its a theory only.

this was a fun and happy quilt to make. I love the one I received last year from twinrivers she did the most amazing quilt for me with Robert Kauffman metallic falls.. I love it and use it daily. I know whatever I receive this year from Tam Moo will be a treat also to be enjoyed often. :)

I am convinced that the only quilts I will ever have are the ones others are making for me. I always make for others. its a true treat to receive one here. all for ME!
