So a new shirt was in order...
and so was a new quilt.
This is one of my favorite squares.
I love that number fabric. (Thanks, Taia!)
The backing...
Lots of quilting...
And the binding.
He loves it.
I love it.
I think I could make a hundred of these. They are so fun to make and I love how the little boxes of color float in the white.
Looking back, it's very reminiscent of this quilt, which I finished nearly one year ago. OK, so maybe I could make 99 more of these. :)
Such a happy birthday boy! And another gorgeous quilt. All your bedrooms must be ready for your magazine shoot soon!
