Thank you for all the lovely comments on wee Oliver. He certainly is a cutie patootie!

And… he got a first introduction to quilt sandwiching while I was there…

I’m not sure if he found it TOO stimulating, or not stimulating enough… because he quickly crashed out in his downstairs basket…

And I got on with the quilting process.

The first quilt completed was the muscle car quilt for a nice young man.

As you know, because of time constraints, I kept the pattern simple. And honestly, with these fabrics, I think that was the best route to show them off.

For the back, I got a nice, snuggly plaid

Normally, I would sew the binding down by hand, which is my preference (I enjoy doing it) but Mom, knowing my time has been super tight lately, offered to do it on the machine for me. I very gratefully took her up on that offer!

It was nice to come home with a completed quilt, and not have to get the binding done before taking pictures.

The quilt finished up at about 61″ x 72″ and is now tucked away in the gift pile waiting to be wrapped for Christmas!
