Cort's Quilt... Finished!

Finished this up about a month ago and put it on Cort's bed... then remembered that it had never been shown as a finished product!  Here it is... I wish I had "fussy cut" those squares with the sports figures.... live and learn...

 

Simple stars and swirl pattern, I had this one quilted by a local longarm quilter.

With Orange thread!

Solid Red Binding, I have become quite fond of those solids.

Off to stitch!

Already?

Phew, that was a quick weekend.

Worked on Cort's quilt,

5 rows down, 4 more to go.

Out of the Box

I've had my mind on solids lately...

Had never paid much attention before.

Also still love this!

Maybe a wild border.... hmmm?

Keep it Simple

Do you ever promise a quilt... before it's made???  This is one of my bad habits.... so I promised my little guy a  new quilt for his 10th birthday last week, a "Sports Quilt" for his room, and I am going to keep it simple.  Maybe, at least that is my intention...  9 1/2 inch squares, so hopefully a quick and easy finish.  (haha)

ok, maybe not all 9 1/2 inch squares.

I'm also using old denim fabric from my never ending collection of old jeans... so soft and cuddly.  I'll probably put Cort's name on the back just to add a little sizzle.

Yesterday in Reno, we had another huge wildfire, with over 26 homes completely burned to the ground.  I have lived in Reno over 20 years and have never seen such horrible devastation.  It was snowing in the mountains 10 miles west of us and burning everything to the ground 6 miles south of us... as our governor said... "inconceiveable."  Please send your best thoughts and intentions towards Reno, NV.
