Finishing a big project like this is always fun. There is also the moment of reckoning when you get to see how what you made actually measures up to the idea you started with. Sometime the idea evolves so much that I am pleased to see it took on a new direction. Other-times I am accepting the work I produced, and happy with my novice skills on that project.
This is my first quilt. And what fun. I have felt I was on the edge of the quilt vortex, and any day would be sucked in and before long have a huge stash. Instead though this project carried through the recycled denim jeans theme which has been with me for a while, and incorporated some red felt left over from a blanket last year.

I think I am officially a quilter with this one though. I notice that I first dreamt up the project.
Then I needed to find someone to give it too. I think lots of quilters clothe their family with their work don't they? So there is a 13th birthday here soon and this is the gift.
The words are spoken daily by Garrison Keillor on the Writer's Almanac. He closes with them at the end of his daily post.
So, as I head off for a couple of weeks, be well, do good work and keep in touch.
Looks great. I especially like the splash of colour in down the middle. I hope the recipient likes it
