Looks great, what a lot of hard work. It is a great design and your work is excellent.

It may be a lot of work but I would say the finished project will be worth it - truly a one-of-a-kind quilt.

Wow! That is complicated and I KWYM when you get stuck finishing up. I am on another board right now that is working to finish up some (read lots) UFOs. The reward system is working for me and some others. If I get X done, then I get to "open that box of fabric I ordered that came today in the mail". BTW, it took a week for me to get that box opened. LOL

The finish line is around the next curve and it's not as far away as it looks! You've done terrific and we're all rooting for you to get it done so we can shout "Hurray!" :D

You say "a simple Monopoly quilt" That doesn't sound simple to me

There is now Monopoly game fabrics out and there is a nice easy pattern for using them. So, for his first time, I am using a pre-made pattern and it is just a lap quilt!

If you can't tell, my son is a game collector. He has a large collection of board games (200-300), I believe. He also collects old video games and computer games. Good thing he has a large apartment!

He also likes really unique items and patterns, and that is why the back looks like it does. He had asked me to make him one of my art quilt drawings that I want to make sometime, for the back, and I told him to forget that!

I think they might also have Scrabble game fabrics coming out soon, too. That will probably be his next one!

I FINISHED IT! yesterday, 3 days early. At the end, I just kept going since I was getting so close. Here are some of the pics. (My sister is the good photographer, not me, but she had a headache).

Here I am pinning it.

When eveyone he knows sees this quilt, you both will be proud. You will be so proud of yourself and he would be proud to have such a wonderful and talented mom!
