It's done!

I finished Lukas' Paintbox quilt last week and am so happy!  We took it along when we went to the park tonight to take some pictures.
It's bound with strips of the leftover colours...
The backing is an old duvet cover from a friend. The diagonal lines are printed on the fabric not the quilting.
I quilted vertical and horizontal lines...lots of them :)
I'm sure happy to have it finished and Lukas loves it too. Now we just need to get his room painted!

  1. Suzanne - I love it!! Yeah, you're done! It looks way bigger than a twin size quilt, almost like a double....

    I like the backing fabric. That's the colour you should paint the walls. That's what I was thinking when I said gray anyways.

    I like the strip of colour on the back too. Very much.

  8. The quilt looks awesome Suzanne! My teen daughter loves it a lot too so it should see you through many years since I don't think it's a pattern/color that can be outgrown.
