I finished a quilt just after Christmas that I haven't posted about. This quilt I've been calling Not Toasty is for my 13 year old son. He was eager to start sleeping under it - mostly because I made it extra long so it will stay tucked in on his extra long twin bed.
It's hard to photograph such a long quilt. It was wonderful to free motion quilt this on my new (well it still feels like new) Juki sewing machine. The tension was perfect on the back every time. The extra harp space was wonderful for maneuvering this large quilt.
With that finished I can relax and enjoy no quilt deadlines for awhile :0) I laid out my 2 side borders for my signature quilt a few nights ago. I think I can applique a few more flowers on the ends of these and still have room for some corner applique so I haven't started on the bottom border like I thought I would.

Your son's quilt is wonderful. I can't believe you quilted it all yourself. It's great. Your applique borders are beautiful. Perfect!
What a great quilt for a young man! It looks very cozy and the stitching is perfect. Isn't more harp space a wonderful thing! Love that applique of course. Your applique borders are always amazing.:)
Such a great ‘boy’ quilt! It is so nice when our quilting efforts are appreciated. Beautiful appliquéd borders!
The blue and green combo made a nice quilt for a boy. Good that you made it long. I prefer to make quilts larger if I can because so many designs are too big for the wall but not big enough to adequately cover up with.
Not Toasty is beautiful! And those applique borders are out of this world!
What a terrific quilt! The colors are super! I bet he really loves it!!
The applique border is coming along nicely.
your quilt turned out wonderfully! What a great quilt for a young man.
Your applique borders are fabulous!!
Your son's new quilt is beautiful. I know he will have many years of snuggle time beneath it. I alternate sleeping underneath two 30 year old quits. One was made by my mother upon graduation and the other by her mother. At some point I will need to put them away, but I’m just not there yet.
What a special quilt for your son. That size will be useful for many years! His color choices and your quilting make it a special family Quilt.
Your borders are beautiful. I often do my borders leaving the approach and corners unstitched until I put it all together, vines flapping! Then I finish the borders.
Thanks for sharing!!
