Finished a Quilt!

My grand plan was to make each of our grandchildren a quilt in their school colors and give it to them for Christmas during their junior year in high school. That went well for the first one, but by the time the second one was a junior, the plan went haywire. Then Christmas of her senior year passed me by, but things do have a way of working out. It turns out that the school colors of the college she's going to next year are nearly identical to those of her high school, so I was able to use the fabric I had purchased nearly three years ago! And her birthday is next month, so the grand plan changed, and the quilt will be a birthday gift instead of a Christmas present. I finished the piecing last week, the backing arrived the next day, I loaded it for quilting on Sunday, and put the binding on last night. I love it when everything falls into place!Here's a link to pictures of the quilt if you'd like to take a look. Thanks!
