Deadline Met and Mission Accomplished

I was SOOOO excited AND exhausted but I finished sewing on the binding at 6:00 pm Friday evening!!  Yes, a completed quilt in 5 days.

( You need to read my previous post to know what this post is talking about )

Hubby came home a few minutes after I finished it.  I was glad I had moved my sewing 

room back upstairs where all my gift wrap, bows and such are up

here too.  I quickly found some ribbon and tied it around the

folded and rolled up quilt.

Hubby was really surprised when I gifted it to him.  He was REALLY

impressed I had actually machine quilted it.  Especially

in a design other than just straight lines.  ( I was patting myself on the back for this one too! )

Here it is…. I know it's just squares, but I wanted it simple so I could make it quick and fast

as fast could be.  

I chose some older fabrics

that have been lurking around for a while 'cause I'm sure tired of looking at them

every time I thumb through my stash!!

I knew Hubby and the Goober dog would like it regardless!

( The Goober dog lays in the chair every night with Hubby so it's his quilt too! )

This gingham on the back has been in my stash l-o-n-g before I knew to call it my stash.

I added this tan fruit/veggie in 'cause it has corn and various other

fruits and veggies Hubby has in his garden.

I like it……especially now that it's finished.  There are sunflowers and a block FULL of red tomatoes.

An African print toward the top, various type prints and a few flowers

thrown in so he can stay in touch with his FEMININE side! (snicker)

Maybe I should challenge myself with deadlines on future quilts and inspire myself to 

get more accomplished………….naaahhhhhh!

I'm headed outside now,

it's 84 degrees!!!!
