Finally finished son's quilt. This is the one I had to wait so long to get the fabric I ran out of. Remember I am still a newbie, and I have several flaws and I am still not that great at sewing straight yet. This is also the first big quilt I have quilted on the machine. The other was a small dog blanket. Anyway enough excuses.....lol. Here are the pics. The main thing is my son loves it.

Nice job Toni! I think you've mastered sewing straight! I'm impressed! What a fun quilt. It turned out so beautifully. You have to make more!

That's really a "winner." (Pink would have been a nice backing, something to talk about over the years :lol: ) I'm sure it won't be out of his sight anytime soon!!

Toni - that is a GREAT first quilt. Who would think a black & white quilt could be so awesome?!!! It is very manly. Nice job. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

You did a great job! I'll bet your son is tickled it's finally done! Now he...what's a manly word for snuggle...can hunker down under it!

I wouldn't know you couldn't sew straight by looking at your terrific quilt! And if you ever do learn, then you can teach me!

Wow, you made a fantastic quilt Toni! That is awesome!

I love it. I bet he does too.

I think it looks terrific!

All that matters is your son loves it... They never see the flaws.... Great Job! My son loves everything I do.

AND THE CHECKERED FLAG GOES TO............................TONI!
there will be no stopping you now, you've got the bug.

The quilt turned out great. Well worth waiting for the proper fabric. Love the back too. You did good! Now we wait to see the green quilt. Hurry! :lol: (I've always been impatient!)

I LOVE it!!

Absolutely wonderful! I can't think of two more difficult colors to put together and have the places meet look so good! Job well done, girl!

What a great job..I sure can't get my lines that straight :lol:

Wow! I love black and white. Good job! :)

I think it looks GREAT! and your sewing looks straight to me...we are always our own worst critics...bet your son wouldn't find one flaw! :thumbup: :thumbup:

very cool! reminds me of a nascar type thing,i guess the checker flag

The backing goes great with the front of this quilt. Well done, Toni!

Awesome job of quilting :!: :!: :shock: Looks like straight sewing of lines to me :!:

I love two tone quilts and yours is beautiful... I did look at your quilting and I thought it looked great.... You can not tell you are new at this.. :lol: Excellent work..

Your son, I believe, picked out the color scheme. He did a great job and I am sure he is very pleased with your special gift. You did a wonderful job. Be sure to enjoy the praise for your accomplishments. Way to go, gal!!!!

Toni, I think it looks great and straight!!!!!

Great quilt. Love the checkered look.

Great job Toni and glad you found your fabric!:0)This was a gutsy choice in colors for your first quilt!:))Black and white would make any small imperfection stand up and yell-which I see none!! You did an amazing job and really should be proud of yourself! I will be excited to see what great things come from you in the future! You have found your gift! Great job!!Skeat

I love it:)

I love your quilt. I can't let my son see it. He wants one with black and white and backed with red. As soon as he sees yours he'll want one just like it. Great job!

You did a wonderful job. Stitching looks pretty darned staight to me. Waiting to see your next project.

nice black and white

You did a fantastic job, Toni. The back is as neat as the front.
