Default Quilt for husband

My husband always complains that regular lap rugs are too small, so I decided to make a big one for him! He picked out the fabrics (top and backing) and the quilting thread (a lovely blue/brown variegated from Superior Threads). I started this in January during a class with Melissa Corry, and it is from her book "Irish Chain Quilts." It is just over 60x80", and I defy DH to say it is too small! I used a wool batting and a medium sized meander to keep it nice and puffy.Pam

That is so pretty and a nice variation on the usual Irish chain.
