Last year our boy and his sweet wife requested a couch quilt and when I saw this wide back print in September, it became my inspiration fabric and I built the quilt around it
And cut everything after settling on a pattern: a simple 9" framed square block
Jackie and Sandy quilted it using a wheat colored thread with a design called Whisper
And I pulled this brown for the binding from my stash
I know a lot of folks don't like brown, but I think it adds so much warmth to a quilt
I used a 9 x 10 block layout for a 76" x 85" quilt
I'm just tickled with the way the fabrics from my stash and the backing worked together
I'm excited to gift this!

Lovely quilt, the fabrics are beautiful.
That really turned out beautiful and that backing is fantastic!! Always love seeing little Skeet--such a great pup.
The blocks are very nice, the pieced backing is awesome! Happy stitching!
Your quilt looks wonderful; great backing fabric too! Your son and his family will love it! I think pulling fabrics for a quilt is so stressful for me! My friend who is so good with fabrics pulled and bagged fabrics that went together for me. It’s been a real blessing. Skeet is such a sweetie. Hope you get rain soon!
Love this!
isn't it great when serendipity works out well? lovely quilt...i predict it will get lots of use...
All the parts work together so beautifully...the backing, the block pattern and colors, the quilting pattern. Delightful!
I love all those fabrics and your quilt is wonderful!
