Hubby's Quilt ...

Thought I'd share a picture of the quilt I made for hubby using repro civil war blues and browns offset with shirtings, a small border of dark brown, and a wider border in my favorite blue fabric from the quilt. I think it turned out very manly ... no sissy colors for my macho carpenter dude. This was my first attempt at setting blocks on point ... believe me, I wouldn't want you to examine my points very closely!!!! All in all though, I'm pleased with the results and even MORE pleased that it's no longer sitting in my UFO basket.

Teresa,
I love your quilt ! And your penny rug, too.. very original. I like the colors you used.
I could be like Sue and say "no they are terrible you must send them to me immediately".. but I think you'd see right thru that, lol.
As far as the points not matching, if you look at a lot of antique quilts, they don't match either. It's still a great quilt, girl !
Hugs, Deb
