This is my newest quilt. Piecing was finished on Memorial Day (just for my Vet) and I have now completed the quilting and binding in time for his Birthday and Father's Day. It's a little early, but then considering it's the first one I've done for my DH, perhaps it's a little late :lol:

Beautiful quilt and quilting. Did he know you were making it for him? Or is it a surprise?

I wasn't able to surprise him... kind of hard when he's always in my sewing room/computer room. I think he's happy though.

Good job! Just look at that proud smile.

I think he likes it.

GORGEOUS !!!

What a beautiful quilt!

Fantastic quilt. Your DH sure looks cumphy and very happy. :thumbup:

Thanks everyone... It turned out to be one of the toughest quilts I've made thus far. I've only been piecing for a few years, and quilting for one. And since I only do this on weekends (I'm a teacher), I'm pretty proud of this one. ;)

nice indeed...glad he was an "active" part of it, lol.

Awww, how pretty is this and it appears your DH is happy to receive it! Would you mind sharing the name of the pattern?

Thank you, the pattern's name is Pinwheels On Parade by Kristin Gassaway www.thirlledtopieces.com and the fabrics were from Connecting Threads.

Thank your Hubby for his service, and the quilt looks great, did you quilt it on a 'standard' machine?

I quilted it on my Janome you see in the background. I can't afford a longarm and I wouldn't have any room to put it if I did - but I can dream :lol:

Very nice looking quilt & hubby. I'm sure he appreciates all of the work that goes into it.

Beautiiful !! :-D

I sure will.... Is your avatar for your service?

Thats a beauty!

You should be proud of it. It's wonderful and your hubby thinks so too!

Wow, that is a gorgeous quilt!!!!!

This is a wonderful man's quilt. And your FMQ looks great. Wish I could to that as well as you show here. Hubby looks mighty happy under that quilt!

It is beautiful

I love your quilt! Very nice.

Someone looks very happy with this terrific quilt. You will have more time to sew with the school year winding down. Enjoy your summer(I taught for 34 yrs. and I know how welcome that break can be!)

Very pretty. Thank him for his service to our wonderful country. You did a great job.

(Of course, I am green with envy to look at the FMQ, it is the greatest!

:mrgreen: )

it is beautiful!!!

Beautiful. Super great quilting work there. Beautiful. you really have the quilting down great.

He looks tickled with it!

Very nice! The quilting looked awesome...did you do the stippling(?) on a long arm machine, or your sewing machine? Either way, looked great! I had been wanting a new sewing room for quite some time, so after I made my husband a quilt for his 45th birthday he decided we needed to add a sewing room. I now have a 950 sq ft sewing room addition to our house!
