I’m pretty excited about this one. Actually I still can’t quite believe it is finished. After many late nights, and after finally recruiting help from our oldest daughter Landen, and Matt, the piecing of the top was finished. Matt chose the perfect backing fabric ( moda of course, but I haven’t got a picture so I’ll have to show ya later….) Then My awesome wonderful Matty did a fabulous job with the quilting, which we followed up with an all night binding session. The next morning, our family quilt was hung at our guild quilt show.
The center block you see was hand stitched entirely by our daughter Landen. Matty did the borders and the flange, plus the quilting. This quilt would not have been finished in time for the show without them. Thank you Matt and Landen! You both did a wonderful job, I’m so very grateful for your help with our quilt.
Absolutely Gorgeous!! That must have taken a very long time as it is so detailed. Great Job.

That is a beautiful quilt and a great job done by all. You have such a nice family it always makes me smile when I read anything you and Matt write on FB.
