This quilt is for my nephew N. I made it in the beginning of June. He told me that his favorite color combo is dark blue with a light neutral. I didn't know if that meant navy blue or a dark royal blue. So I decided to make a quilt with both. The large plus quilt was a great solution. Each square is cut out at 8 inches. Most of the fabrics were also used in the custom dashing star quilts I made.
I enjoyed putting the squares up on my design wall. Then I pieced the quilt top. It came together quickly.
I quilted it on the Bernina Q24.
I can quilt a loopy spiral on a lap quilt in just a couple hours.
After the quilting I got the binding on quickly.
The backing is a light blue minky.
Here is N's quilt with his brother G's quilt.
I did enjoy N's quilt on my wall for the month of July.
Later in the year I took some pictures outside.
Luckily my husband has installed a couple hooks inside the arbor. I can now hang quilts up by myself.
I seem to be better at making quilts than photographing and actually gifting them this year. However, I did drop both quilts off at my brother’s house last night along with a couple others. My brother will make sure they get their quilts.

Gifting quilts can be tricky. I'm sorry you won't get to be there to gift them in person, but I'm sure N and G will get lots of use and love out of what you've made for them.
