Happy 21st birthday Danny !

All done just in the nick of time. Guess I will always be a last-minute sort of quilter.. Finished the binding just last night and gave him his quilt a little while ago. The smile on Danny's face made it all worthwhile - he wrapped himself in it and declared it the cuddliest thing ever.

For a bit of fun I quilted his and Jess's (DD) names in it and they both had a search for them. This is the Peaches and Dreams pattern kindly provided free from Judy Laquidara

The borders were just made from random sized leftovers from the blocks. Because I was running short of time I did them differently to how I normally attach borders. In golfing language I believe there is a term " hit and hope" - well that's how these borders went on - sewn a load of strips together and just whacked them on hoping they'd fit. Sort of "piece and pray" - lol ! Turned out fine.. So glad it's finished. The quilt is actually blue and green although my photos are showing it all blue. Feel quite a pang giving it away.
Our little quilt group has a small exhibition on Saturday and I am making a few things for the sales table. Only little items but I need to get moving.
Take care !

What a great quilt and he sure does look pleased with it! It's an ideal design for a male and still beautiful without being patterned or flowery. Well done!
FABULOUS!!!!
What a special treat for him, I bet he'll treasure it.
I love a border like that, not hard, but it doesn't have to be.
Great work, happy quilt fairing.
