A recent finish for a graduate

 I completed a quilt for a graduate recently.  It was a challenge as I have been so busy and my house is a mess!

The graduate requested purple, red, and pink.  Oh, and by the way, it needs to be masculine...

I was afraid but I actually love how it turned out.  I didn't get to see him open it so I just have to hope that he loved it!  
My husband is behind there, standing on our outdoor coffee table so it is a long quilt.
Here is the back- I had no idea it would look like flowers...

Up close...
You can see it is tie dye circles.  A lovely and fun backing.  I was in a hurry so it got a simple label and a machine binding- most of my quilts do now-days.  

I took off work today because my wrist is killing me- a hold over from a tumble I took when my dog tripped me on our walk almost 2 weeks ago- combined with inventory of the library, it is not feeling good.  My lip, which I was sure was ruined forever, has healed nicely and is still only slightly numb.  I am lucky to have my two front teeth solidly in their regular place.  

Love this monster to death- and he might just be the death of me...


Happy Sewing!
