I have a few of my fabric boxes out choosing fabric for a Christmas present.
When Tom started working at Cancer Care he commented that he thought it would be nice to hang a quilt in his office. I let him choose a quilt but he has never taken it to work, partly because the one he choose is actually one that I use in one of my lectures. But, I didn’t think that it would impact my lecture that much. Since he seems to be hesitant to take it to work, I decided that I would make him a quilt that he could take to his office.
One time when I was preparing for a workshop I had the book “Easy Machine Quilting” out and he saw a project like this one and said that I should make that because it looks really cool. Little did Tom know that I had already started this project and it was one of my UFO. I pulled out this UFO and completed it. I named that quilt #13 because that is Tom’s favorite number and it was the project number. This quilt is to big for Tom’s office, so I decided to make one like it but the right size for his offive.
Here is the quilt top for Tom’s Christmas gift. I am wondering if the borders are too wide – what do you think?
I had this piece of back fabric, but it wasn’t wide enought, so I pieced the leftover strips together and used it in the center of the backing fabric to make it wide enough.
