Finish for Stepson.

Hi Guys,

Well this quilt has taken some time because I absolutely hate the colours... I was originally making this in blues and had bought all the fabrics because I thought they were my stepsons favourite colours, but luckily I asked him what his favourites were before making it and he said "yellow and grey". So here it is. I will one day make it in blue because it looks so good and of course I already have the fabrics - LOL LOL LOL.

P.S. If anybody know how to turn the pictures the right way up, please do. Thank you.

I, too, share your aversion to yellows, but your quilt look fantastic! If your stepson is anything like sons
are, I'm sure he will appreciate your going above and beyond!

QuiltnNan 02-18-2018 04:32 AM

it looks great.

greencat 02-18-2018 04:34 AM

Great looking quilt! I do like the colors.

That is a lovely quilt!

KwiltyKahy 02-18-2018 06:36 AM

I love yellow and grey together, so I am loving this quilt.

sewbizgirl 02-18-2018 06:40 AM

That is a gorgeous quilt! I love the colors. Very modern.

I love it! I don't often like grey but I absolutely love yellow and this quilt is really beautiful!

Beautiful quilt that I bet he adores! What pattern is that, I do not think I have seen it before? Please post the blue one when it is done!

nativetexan 02-18-2018 10:12 AM

I certainly hope he loves it because I do. I have grays and other colors to use up because they look so great. modern quilt styles mostly. love them but still lean toward my old favorites. lovely quilting!!!

jlt37869 02-18-2018 10:25 AM

Good job!!

fred singer 02-18-2018 10:43 AM

I'm sure that he will love it. it is very nice.

rryder 02-18-2018 12:17 PM

That's gorgeous--I love the colors!

SusieQOH 02-18-2018 12:19 PM

Caroline, you and me both, however, that's a great quilt! And he will love it, which is the most important thing :)

Jingle 02-18-2018 03:25 PM

Very pretty. It is my opinion there is a place for any and all colors in quilts. Not necessarily in the same quilt.

LindaMRB 02-18-2018 04:28 PM

But you did a good job anyway. . . how old is this guy? :)
Yellow and Grey are sort of 1940s (?) combos. Like pink and grey. They're making a comeback in Atlanta where the house is grey and the door is intense yellow or absolutely pink.

Teen 02-18-2018 06:33 PM

Love the color combo....super beautiful!

BrendaK 02-18-2018 09:38 PM

Super. BrendaK

I love the color combination. Your pattern choice makes it look like glowing sunshine. A real winner.

cannyquilter 02-19-2018 01:06 AM

Lovely quilt. You did a great job with the quilting was it on a domestic?

jmoore 02-19-2018 03:44 AM

Wow, that’s a big quilt...you did a wonderful job on your straight line quilting. The directional changes make it so interesting. Great finish.

Annaquilts 02-19-2018 04:47 AM

the quilt you made is stunning and unique! You did a great job.

Jordan 02-19-2018 07:30 AM

Very nice quilt and luckily you asked him what his favorite colors were and he told you. He will appreciate his new quilt I am sure.

ArtsyOne 02-19-2018 08:15 AM

Beautiful coordination of color tone and the quilting is perfect for the pattern. It's going to look great on a bed, and the fact that it's reversible is even better. Great job!!

sewnclog 02-19-2018 02:24 PM

I'm not a big fan of yellow either but gray is one of my favorite colors and it seems to go with a lot of bright colors. But your colors work well together. His favorite colors? He'll love it!

Jules51 02-19-2018 03:03 PM

Your stepson will love that quilt, it is beautiful!

Sync 02-19-2018 04:15 PM

Fantastic quilt.

redquilter 02-19-2018 04:32 PM

I like the colors. Beautiful quilt.

JanelleTrebuna 02-20-2018 09:08 AM

That is really beautiful and masculine too. :)

CarolinePaj 02-20-2018 02:47 PM

Thank guys..... I hope he does like it. He is coming to stay on the 3rd March so I will know then.

I would also love the name of the pattern.

I LOVE it!

Kwiltr 02-22-2018 07:52 AM

Nice quilt! I'm sure he'll love it and your effort on going with his colour choices. Cool pattern.

Well done! Very modern looking quilt for your DGS. :)

audsgirl 03-24-2018 09:13 PM

This is the kind of design my son would like. I'm sure your stepson will love it. It may not be your choice in colors, but it is very effective, and he will be touched that you went to all the trouble to make it to his liking. Terrific work!
