... Finally finished! Woo hoo.
I mentioned this quilt in another thread about tape tips. It's for my grandson who will be 16 this Thursday.
Yea! I made it. :mrgreen:

Thank you!
You can't see it in the photo, but several of the prints are metallics and glitters with LOTS of little stars.
I used EQ5 to design it (4 years ago) and I had to change it because I didn't have enough material to make all the blocks the same as the four corners I started with.
I didn't have anything specific in mind when I bought the fabric, but this has taught me a lesson: Have a plan and buy enough of what you need before you start a project. :thumbup:
I was lucky I was able to finish with what I had.

Thanks, Patty!
Four years ago, on his birthday, I used one block I had finished for a 24" quilted pillow and he loves that.
Now he has the complete set.
I *could* do a lot more quilting on it, but, hey, he's only 16!
