is finally all quilted! I had a kid free day Saturday and after taking a nice walk in the sunshine I got to work quilting his quilt. Lots of thread breaks that I will need to clean up but it is all machine quilted. I had made a white binding.... but it decided it needed a scrappy blue one instead. The binding is all sewn down just waiting for the hand turning. I am thinking the white stars need some hand quilting 1/4 inch from the inside of each of them so that will also get worked on this week. He chose the backing fabric - patriotic flags! It seems they say the pledge of allegiance at school every day so he wanted some flags on his quilt.

This is such a happy quilt! And American flags for the backing is wonderful! I hope Aidan loves it to pieces!
I stumbled upon your blog from another that I follow and just had ot tell you that i love this quilt. I am in the process of adding a blue scrappy quilt to my list and this one is inspiring to me.
What a great finish! You really are on a roll now. Glad you are getting it all in while you can.
I just LOVE that quilt ... I'm sure Aiden will, too!
It's fabulous Deb! I'm sure he will love it!
Great idea to quilt inside the stars to pop them out.
Enjoy your stitching and thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
I like the whole idea of white stars on a scrappy blue background. Very nice.
Your quilt is gorgeous!
