A timely quilt
 |
| It started with a bible verse for a "man of the moment"... hence the clocks/watch fabric. |
 |
| Added panels (these were large fabric samples (I believe they were meant to be upholstery samples) that I had bought years ago that I never knew what to do with. |
 |
| Interspersed with leftover flannel from Ethan's grown up quilt... Not sure if you can see the letterings on top, left, right and bottom of the middle panel |
 |
| On the top - NIKO |
 |
| On the left - MAN |
 |
| On the right - MYTH |
 |
| On the bottom - LEGEND |
 |
| A timely reminder in case he gets a tad too full of himself because of the accolades... |
 |
| My favourite part of quilting - the binding - because it usually spells the 'finishing' and also because I generally handsew it - I find it soothing and therapeutic... |
 |
| Backed with a neutral floral sheet - I didn't have anything else big enough... it's probably the size of a double quilt and because of the upholstery fabric, makes it so much heavier... |
 |
| My first attempt at log cabin style panel - I think my next quilt will be a log cabin... |
 |
| Frayed edges of middle panel adds interest... hope he likes it... it's months early for his birthday but at least I know it's finished 'in time'. |
I love how this quilt turned out. You have done well :)
