A quilt for my son in law…..

A quilt for my son in law. It is his birthday soon and I have had this in mind for 2 years. It’s about time I got it done. So I pulled out the panel I had bought and showed it to my friend. A light bulb went off and I thought of how I could finish it. I was so happy that I drew up a design and pulled out my black and white fabric scraps.


Corner blocks have started


The blocks and road is growing.


Do I add the side borders to resemble the white lines on the sides as of the road.


I decided not to do the extra borders on the sides as the quilt was big enough. 


All the sewing on the top was done and I won bobbin chicken


The brightness in the sun light


The colours show differently in the shade


It was a lovely day outside this afternoon. The sun was out, no wind and very comfortable temperature. Great time to baste a quilt in the fresh air.
