The top is completed, and currently I am doing the quilting on it. It's a "recliner sized" quilt for my fiance'. I hope to complete the quilting tonight and do the binding this upcoming week.

Modified to add, I need to find a better place to display my creations... :roll:

Really nice and I love your colors.

It's beautiful!

Look good. I'm sure he will like it.

Beautiful!! I suggest backing it in flannel for extra snuggliness. :D

I really love the colors you picked!!!!!!

How about a picture of him under it in his recliner? :lol:

That turned out so nice. Good job :!:

Oh, that's very beautiful! :)

Ohhhh, he is going to love it! Very nice colors, good job! :D

really pretty!
love the colors!

I love those colors...very nice. That is a great quilt!

Looks beautiful! You're going to let him put that on a recliner?!! LOL! It's too pretty!

I really like that a lot, the design, the colors, all of it. Nice job!

Nice quilt. Very masculine looking. He's going to love it. :D :D

Great job! Love the colors.

So nice, I have some of the fabrics you used. I don't know if I could cordinate them as nicely as you've done. Thank you for sharing.

Good job.

NICE!!!Love the soft colors!

Very nice indeed!

I'm sure the man if your life will be comfy cozy under this quilt, maybe with you too :wink:

That looks sooo comfy and I love the fabrics. What do you mean...one of the "better sewn areas"...it all looked good to me!

Thank you ALL for the compliments! They are most appreciated.

I had wanted to finish over the weekend, but we dried out here in AR enough to whip the yard into shape. Back to rain, so it's back to sewing!

It's DONE!!! It's DONE!!! It's DONE!!!

I'm quite pleased with the end result. I ended up backing the quilt with a cotton sheet. Someone suggested snuggly flannel, but between living in Arkansas and moving to Florida, he wanted a something more lightweight.

There are a few "lessons" that I have learned from this project. The first and most important is to measure 8,000 times, cut one time. That I think was my biggest problem with this quilt. I also have to learn to slow down a little bit, because rushing causes mistakes. There's a doozie with the binding, but it adds charachter... :roll: ! And finally, and most important, is to keep working and keep quilting. I'm pretty much self-taught and this is only my second blanket. I can only improve!!! I can't wait to start my next project.

Thank you all again for the encouragement and compliments.

CONGRATULATIONS! It sure is thrilling to get it all done! If he- or you- ever get tired of it, let me know! It's GORGEOUS!

What a wonderful finish! It's gorgeous! I love your "measure 8,000 times, cut once" rule! So, so true! Enjoy your finished quilt! It sure is a beauty.

I love it! You certainly did a great job and have fun with #2 quilt.
