Friday - Quilt is Finished!

My latest project, the quilt for my bed is finished.  I finally got photos of it made to show you. 

First the front of the quilt
I love the variety of fabrics, the wild piecing, the orphan block areas, a couple of "special to me" fabrics - I love all of it. 

Now the back
There are some special fabrics on the back also. 
There are hand dyed fabrics, batiks, and somewhere near the center there is a piece that I stamped with a leaf stamp that I carved.  

The joining strips on this are not so obvious as they are scrappy, just like the quilt. The binding is also scrappy. 

Now as it IS Friday, I need a face to join the Face Off group. 
Here is one where you might recognize that guy in the middle:

That is one of my distant cousins in the center playing with his band. 
Left to right: Jason Mowrey,  Clint Black, and Hayden Nicholas

They really put on a good show. 
Here is a close up of Jason:


I was fortunate to be on the third row for this show, so I got a few good photos. 

I am linking up with DVArtist/Nicole for the Friday Face Off

Until Next Time,  
Stay Creative

  6. Me, too! I LOVE your quilt! And I didn't realize that you were related to Clint Black - so you're not the only famous one in the family - ;))

  9. A lot of work went into that quilt. Very nice! I'm not fond of some pieced backings but I like yours. I think the fact that it has 3 sections makes the layout more balanced.

  13. Your quilt is out of this world. It is a real beauty and I absolutely LOVE it. Even the back is precious. I had to enlarge, not to see the quilt, but to see the various bits and pieces in it.

    How nice to see your cousin with his band, Gene.
