90 Blocks for 90 Years Revisited...

It took longer than I anticipated, but Dad's 90th birthday quilt is done.


It finished 61" x 55"-ish, pretty good for napping with a bratty cat. As Dad loves to nap, I think it will get a lot of use.


The back is one of the softest flannels I've ever found, a great tone-on-tone tealy-blue.


I used leftovers from the homespun fat quarters for the binding. Love it!


And here's a gratuitous shot of Archie, who missed the quilt photo shoot because he'd found the only sliver of sunlight in the condo.

Happy weekend, all!

Lovely gift for your dad! Looks very inviting to take a nap with.
I think Archie is such a charmer, happy that he got included in the post, even if he missed out on the soft quilt.
