Babbling aside, I figured I'd take a moment to share a project that is done but for some hand sewing and minor embroidery embellishments. It's a quilt for my dear friend Tim who's currently in Iraq. The quilt is titled "Ellis River Trail" and is inspired by one of his favorite places to hike in the White Mountains. Came out pretty good for a first quilt, even if I do say so myself.
The back is a total rip-off from a design I saw over on Film In The Fridge. The very loud front needed a subtle back. I hope he likes it. There is enough leftover blue fabric to create another quilt. I'm thinking something with a Mariner's Compass and a South Pacific theme. Possibly with a back done in some configuration of Heather Ross Mendocino fabrics.
Addendum: I really do need to give a heaping helping of credit to Rana who helped me finish off the whole business. Check out some of her award winning quilts on her blog.
