Finally!

I can now count exactly one finished quilt that belongs to us.  Well, to my son, anyway.  It was actually finished on January 7th, but I let Antonio enjoy it for a bit before I posted about it.  Also, I was tad bit lazy.

So after a year-and-a-half in the making, this quilt (my January project for A Lovely Year of Finishes) is complete.  The pattern is Urban Chic, made with various prints of aqua, yellow and grey.  The binding print is from one of Denyse Schmidt's collections found at Joann's.

Just as Martina and I picked all the prints together for 'Old Girl', Antonio and I selected all of the fabric for this quilt together.  Antonio had the grace to say he was kinda glad I waited so long to finish it, or we wouldn't have found that particular print for the binding.  Thanks, kid!

Almost a quilt top

     I've made significant progress on Antonio's Urban Chic quilt top.  Here's a sneak peek:

I'm thinking an aqua border with a black and gray polka dot binding.
     One thing I wish I had done differently is fussy cut the center panels of the Alexander Henry black and grey geometric fabric.  You can see the one square where I did fussy cut (the one with the circle perfectly centered), which happened to be the one that I cut last.
     I added one more column of blocks to make the quilt a little wider.  I'm pleased with how this quilt turned out- appropriate for a 9 year-old boy, but not too juvenile that he'll outgrow it.
