Wild Horses and Armed Men

I finished tacking down the binding on this one last night and am so glad it's done.  It was made with a specific person in mind after they lost a loved one in a traffic accident.  I usually don't know who gets one of my quilts, so knowing exactly who the recipient is makes me uncomfortable.  I'm never sure how it'll be received or if the person will like it for that matter.  That's my shortcoming, though and I accept it, pansy that I am.

Here's the top and a close-up:

I had to piece the backing and it came out a little funky...kind of like the quilter, I suppose, but that's okay.

Comfort Quilt

It must be that I channelled all that anxiety excitement about the start of the new school year tomorrow.  That's the only way to explain actually getting an entire quilt top pieced in just a few hours...

Horses aren't my thing, but I think it turned out well.  However, I don't think my daughter will forgive me for saying 'No, it's not for you'.  I still have to piece the back and am still debating about adding a second border of the blue bandana fabric to make it just a bit bigger.

Happy quilting!
