Well, I missed my Friday deadline to get a picture up of Adam's graduation quilt, "Toggle".  But, here it is, in a kind of wonky looking picture.  The room with my design wall on it isn't big enough to get a straight-on shot and still get all of the quilt in it, so I used Photoshop to change the angle, and, well, it didn't quite do the job.  It's made with Moda's Birchbark charm packs.

The embroidery will go around the center blocks.  I ran out of the brown, ended up having to piece the top and bottom rows with a 7" middle piece.  Hopefully, when it's quilted it won't be noticeable.

This is a rather dreary quilt to me - I like bright colors and not such a predictable look.   I think my son will like it, though, and the backing and binding fabrics are more to my liking.

Next quilt planned is a wall hanging I saw on-line of a shelf of library books using the selvage edges of fabric for the titles.  I plan to make one for my BFF who is a librarian.

Sue, I don't think that this is dreary at all--I can already see how wonderful it will look once the embroidery and quilting are done.  It will definitely be a quilt that your son will treasure!
