This is the first quilt I'm posting for my QB friends - I figured it is about time :-P I made this quilt for my Dad in 04. He passed away in 07 so I have the quilt. It's far from perfect but Dad loved it and that's what mattered to me. I didn't have helpers to hold up the quilt for the pic so had to lie it down - helps hide imperfections this way too LOL!! :-P

Very pretty.

It's really colourful, and I can see any imperfections at all, and I bet your Dad couldn't either.

Very nice!!

Yes, Yes, YES!!!

Very pretty quilt.

great quilt. love the bright colors too.

very nice. I can see why he loved it.

bet you feel those hugs from you dad when you use it even now.

Very Nice! LOVE the colors it looks so BRIGHT and CHEERFUL!!

Beautiful! I just love how the black makes the other colors pop.

oh it is stunning! I bet he loved it - I'm sorry for your loss.

Very pretty. The black really makes the colors pop. Nice work. Your Dad must've been very proud to have had that quilt!

Beautiful :!:

Beautiful, colors are just like a box of crayolas. Sorry you lost your dad, but glad that you made the quilt that he enjoyed.

Lovely quilt - :thumbup:

That is a beautiful quilt. I've never seen the pattern and think you did a great job.

colors are wonderful - great job!

Nice bright quilt! The backing fabric is one I wish I had bought an entire bolt of!! :)

I love the use of batiks in this quilt, very lovely.

I can see one reason your Dad loved it! It is beautiful!!! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

Very pretty!! Love those fabrics :D:D:D

I love love love this quilt....what pretty colors.

Love your striking colors. It is nice that you have it now that your Dad is "finished with it". Circle of Love

I really like that. I'm just learning to do flying geese so don't think I'll tackle one that pretty yet.

Lovely quilt, you did a wonderful job too!

what a lovely quilt. no wonder your dad loved it especially made by daughter. The backing brings it all together. You did flying geese like I like to do. the triangle squares and all different. I tried using the flying geese ruler but couldn't get them right so went back to the squares....that way can use more scraps. you did a wonderful job on such a cheery quilt.

No wonder your Dad loved his quilt. So sorry for your loss of him.

Beautiful quilt! I'm glad your dad had a chance to use the quilt. I bet he was thrilled you made it for him!

It was made with love, and that's what matters. Lovely quilt.

very lovely.. love the colors!

lovely

Sorry for your loss. Your dad must have loved his quilt.
Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the kind comments about Dad's quilt. I'm glad it has my QB friends seal of approval :-P Thanks too for the sweet and thoughtful comments about Dad, it's much appreciated.

I originally planned to make the quilt in plaids & stripes thinking it would be more masculine looking. But he wanted bright colors and I love working with brights so it worked for me. :-P

Toomanycats - My feelings exactly on being able to use more scraps :-P

Batiks not usually my thing but love it and especially the backing.
Just lost my Dad in July and had one of those really missing him moments this am. So nice you know that he loved it. Having had wonderful parents is truly one of life's greatest blessings.
