And another one...

This is the project I've been avoiding -- a twin-sized quilt for my godson, who graduated this summer from the iSchool in NYC and moved into his dorm at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute this week. 

I was hoping at some point (like, last summer, when I first conceived of the basic design) to have it ready for him to take along, but I struggled with this design, which went through quite a few iterations. On top of that, I used more of the navy railroad pinstripe on the front than originally planned, so didn't have enough to complete the back, and, well, finishing things on time really isn't like me, is it? At least he knows that, and he'll probably be able to take it back to school with him at Christmas.

I do like the way it turned out -- asymmetrical, and very linear. The plaid handwovens are leftovers from this quilt -- made for my nephew/first godson's high school graduation in 2010. I have a tiny bit left over still, which is lucky because my third godson just turned 12 -- if I start on his quilt now, maybe it'll be done by the time he completes high school? Fat chance!

Still playing with the backing for this, though. I have some of the pinstripe left, and bought some ticking and lightweight denim; just gotta figure out how to put it all together. And then decide how to quilt it -- that could take me until November. Right on schedule!
