Another Finish......

The pattern is Yellow Brick Road by Atkinson Designs.  This is the full size version, a "late" wedding gift for a couple that was married last September.  I'm linking this up to Bonnie Hunter (Quiltville's) "What's on Your Bed?"  Even though this won't be on my bed for long, I wanted to show it off.....
It's kind of funny - I tool pictures with it on my bed (please ignore the mess in the background) and pictures of it outside.  The ones I took inside without a flash actually turned out better than the outdoor ones.

 Here's a close-up of the quilting.  It was sent out to a long-arm quilter - I'm not sure of her name, but it's one I normally don't use.  The quilting is really cute - she did a great job.  I just drop my quilts off at my local quilt shop, and the owner sends them out to be quilted.  She has 2 ladies that she normally uses, and then a couple that she uses as "overflow".  This went out to one of the "overflow" quilters!  :)


The lovely quilting carries over into the border as well. 
The binding is Grunge, by Basic Grey.  I love that fabric!

This quilt is gorgesous. It was a relief for me after all the spiderwebs (I am not a fan. Shhhh...don't tell!)

I am sure the recepients will love this.

I ended up studying the last picture. You can see how the sun washes out color. Good location on the bed. The color is rich and beautiful.

I was sharing my photos of quilts in the sun woes on my blog, and Joe Tulips sent me over to see yours. Lovely quilt. I sure wish I could figure out how to take a good photo of my quilts, though. They are always either washed out or too dark, never spot on. I've been moving back through your posts, and enjoying reading your blog, so I'm adding you to the list of blogs that I follow. Cheers!
