Woo Hooo! The top is done! I wrastled that thing down and won. Here it is with Ben. He is so excited! But I told him I won't be quilting it until after I get Grandmommy's quilted. I am going to have to make or buy a different color bed skirt, though. His is too dark of a blue.

And here it is on the bed with the matching pillowcase. It is made out of the red star in the circle fabric.

The whole top. It just looks lopsided because of the angle I shot the photo.

A detail. Did I mention I no longer like triangles?

Ben is a darling little man, and your quilt is darling, also. Maybe it will inspire him to become a cruise ship captain someday, and you can get free vacations. Isn't THAT a high expectation from a quilt, though?

Ben is adorable and your quilt turned out fabulous! I agree with Ditter....a little red/white edging on the bottom of bed skirt would just set it off!
